GBP/USD grinding lower contained by descending resistance

FXStreet (Guatemala) - GBP/USD is trading at 1.7072, down -0.02% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.7079 and low at 1.7070.

GBP/USD remains contain by the descending resistance and Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet noted that in the 4 hours chart a mild bearish tone is present, but said the downward pressure seems limited and moreover corrective, as a top at the multi year high of 1.7190 from this week is far from confirmed. ‘In fact, 1.7060 stands for the 23.6% retracement of the latest bullish run, meaning the correction is quite limited. A break below this last may see the pair approaching 1.7000 area, and even then, risk of a reversal will remain limited, with only a daily close below 1.6985 increasing such risk. To the upside, 1.7150 is the critical resistance to watch as if above, the bullish trend will likely resume”.
