FxWirePro: GBP/USD reverses recent rally, bias back to downside

  • The GBP/USD pair declined on Thursday, as the Pound found short selling interest after brief rise towards 1.2270 on upbeat UK GDP data.
     
  • The pair eased to intraday low at 1.2147, after hitting one-week high early in European session.
     
  • Gross domestic product expanded by 0.5 percent in the July-September period, less rapid than the unusually strong growth of 0.7 percent seen in the second quarter but comfortably above a median forecast of 0.3 percent.
     
  • Further upside is expected to be limited as the pound presents negative tone in the short term and it is set to resume downward momentum against the greenback.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.2260 a break above this level would expose to cable to next resistance level at 1.2323.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.2135, a break below will open the door towards next level at 1.2055.
