FxWirePro: GBP/USD gains some upside momentum but still bearish
Tuesday, August 30, 2016 1:34 PM UTC
- The GBP/USD pair declined on Tuesday as investors betted that U.S. interest rates could rise by year-end while British rates may also be cut again.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.3224 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 1.3143, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.3185.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.3060, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.3000.
