FxWirePro: GBP/USD neutral in the near-term, scope for downward resumption

  • The GBP/USD pair inched higher on Thursday as weak Chinese data weakened dollar demand across the board and pushed investors to buy safe-haven assets after two straight days of selling.
     
  • The Fed on Wednesday released the minutes of its last rate-setting meeting that showed several policymakers felt a rate hike was warranted "relatively soon" if the U.S. economy continued to strengthen.
     
  • The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.2325 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels in the short term.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2228, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.2325 levels.
     
  • To the downside strong support can be seen at 1.2154, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2073.
