FxWirePro: GBP/USD dips below lower range, bearish bias increases
Friday, September 16, 2016 1:41 PM UTC
- The GBP/USD pair fell as low as 1.3107 in the early US session after data showed Consumer Price Index for August came better than expectations.
- Consumer Price Index rose 0.2 percent last month after being unchanged in July. In the 12 months through August, the CPI increased 1.1 percent after advancing 0.8 percent in July.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.3254 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 1.3165, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.3254.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.3101, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.3022.
