FxWirePro: GBP/USD dips below lower range, bearish bias increases
Friday, September 23, 2016 2:36 PM UTC
- The GBP/USD pair fell as low as 1.2903 in the early US session as worries over Britain's exit from the European Union weighted on the currency pair.
- The pair slipped sharply after British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said he expected the formal divorce proceedings between Britain and the EU to begin early next year.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.3117 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
- To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2990, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.3071.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.2903, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2856.
