FxWirePro: GBP/USD strongly bearish despite upside attempts
Tuesday, November 15, 2016 7:07 PM UTC
- GBP/USD declined on Tuesday as sterling was weighted down after media reports refocused traders' attention on the political risks associated with Britain's departure from the European Union.
- A stronger U.S. dollar also added losses for the Sterling as the dollar firmed on upbeat economic data and increased expectation that Federal Reserve will raise interest rate in December.
- Further upside for this pair is expected to be limited as strong resistance level at 1.2545 is set to limit upside and bring decline towards lower levels.
- To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2476, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.2545 levels.
- To the downside strong support can be seen at 1.2411, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2380.
