FxWirePro: GBP/USD drops below 1.2250, scope for further downside

  • GBP/USD declined on Wednesday as sterling was under steady pressure as the UK government heads into negotiations on its EU exit.
     
  • A stronger U.S. dollar also added losses for the Sterling as the dollar firmed on upbeat economic data and increased expectation that Federal Reserve will raise interest rate next year.
     
  • Further upside for this pair is expected to be limited as strong resistance level at 1.2315 is set to limit upside and bring decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2256, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.2315 levels.
     
  • To the downside strong support can be seen at 1.2195, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2117.
