Key Quotes

“The GBP/USD pair eased from a fresh 11-day high of 1.5825, now pressuring the top of these last 2-week range around 1.5740. With no local data, Pound slide has been attributed to dollar short term momentum after Draghi’s words.”

“Technically, the 1 hour chart shows an increasing bearish potential, with price below its 20 SMA and indicators heading lower well below their midlines.”

“In the 4 hours chart 20 SMA maintains its bullish slope currently around 1.5710, while indicators stand flat in positive territory. Further declines below 1.5740 should deny chances of a firmer advance rather than suggest a continued slide for today.”
