"The unsuccessful test of the 1.6420 resistance sent the GBP/USD pair into a correction phase with an initial target of 1.6290. Crucial on the downside is the key 1.6250 support area", said Stoyan Mihaylov, analyst at DeltaStock.com. "In the opposite direction, a decisive break of 1.6420 will signal the resumption of the uptrend with targets 1.6550 and 1.6740".
