- GBP/USD gained some ground on dollar initially in the early European session after UK CPI data printed positive reading better than forecasted figures at 0.2%. However, after finding resistance at 1.4340 the pair has slipped sharply to trade around 1.4208 levels.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.4340 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels in the short term, therefore it's good to sell this pair on rallies.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.4340, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.4418.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.4208, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.4146.
Recommendation: Go short around 1.4250, targets 1.4180, 1.4100, SL 1.4340
