FxWirePro: GBP/USD dips below lower range, bearish bias increases
Tuesday, September 13, 2016 1:33 PM UTC
- The GBP/USD pair fell as low as 1.3190 in the early US session after data showed Britain's annual consumer price inflation rate for August came below expectations.
- The annual rate of consumer price inflation was unchanged at 0.6 percent in August, compared with economists’ forecast for it to increase to 0.7 percent on Tuesday.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.3300 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 1.3260, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.3300.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.3173, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.3090.
