Thursday, June 2, 2016 6:17 PM UTC
- GBP/USD declined on Thursday as selling continued after weak UK Construction data and renewed Brexit fears weighted on the pair.
- British construction orders fell last month for the first time in more than three years, on concern about a June 23 referendum vote. Data showed on Thursday that headline construction PMI dropped to 51.2 from April's 52.0.
- The intraday trend remains bearish for the pair as the British pound is set to come under increased pressure on worries over Brexit.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.4500, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.4546 levels.
- To the downside strong support can be seen at 1.4380, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.4380.
