FxWirePro: GBP/USD outlook weaker on renewed downside pressure

  • GBP/USD declined on Tuesday as sterling was weighted down on worries about a possible second Scottish independence referendum and the triggering of Article 50, which will formally begin the negotiations that will take Britain out of the EU.
     
  • A stronger U.S. dollar also added losses for the Sterling as the dollar firmed on expectations that U.S. Federal Reserve will hike interest rate on Wednesday.
     
  • The Fed starts a two-day monetary policy meeting on Tuesday. Fed funds futures have priced in a 95 percent chance the Fed will nudge rates higher on Wednesday.
     
  • Further upside for this pair is expected to be limited as strong resistance level at 1.2251 is set to limit upside and bring decline towards lower levels.
     
  • To the upside, immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2145, a break above this level would expose the cable to next resistance level at 1.2186 levels.
     
  • To the downside strong support can be seen at 1.2110, a break below at this level will open the door towards next level at 1.2062.
