FxWirePro: GBP/USD trades weaker after retail sales, sell on rallies

  • GBP/USD has broken 1.5250 after release of weaker than expected UK retail sales.

  • UK Oct Retail sales decreased to -0.6% m/m compared to forecast of 0.5% Vs 1.9% in Sep  and core retail sales declined to -0.9%. Decrease in retail sales has dampened the optimism over the country's economic outlook and reduced the chance of rate hike by BOE.

  • Technically the pair is facing strong support around 1.5220 (55 4H EMA) and any break below targets 1.5150/1.5080.

  • Short term bullishness only above 1.5300

It is good to sell on rallies around 1.5260-65 with SL around 1.5300  for the TP of 1.5180/1.5150
