Wednesday, July 27, 2016 3:02 PM UTC
- Sterling declined initially against the dollar on Wednesday despite second-quarter UK growth data that came stronger but, recovered the lost ground after disappointing report on durable goods orders in the early US session.
- Investors awaited possible clues on an interest rate increase from the Federal Reserve at the conclusion of its two-day meeting.
- Further upside is expected to be limited as the resistance level at 1.3275 levels is set to hold the bulls from advancing further, and bring a decline towards lower levels in the short term.
- To the upside, the immediate resistance can be seen at 1.3154, a break above this level would expose to cable to next resistance level at 1.3215.
- To the downside major support can be seen at 1.3000, a break below will open the door towards next level at 1.2924.
