GBP/USD August 23, 2013

For almost the entire duration of yesterday’s trading session, the pair headed slowly but surely to the downside. The support level located at 1.5600 is now breached but not in a decisive manner.





Technical Outlook

The level of 1.5560 stopped yesterday’s bearish movement and it represents now minor support for today’s price action. We anticipated a retracement lower based on the overbought condition indicated by the Relative Strength Index but today’s movement will give us more hints about whether this is just a retracement or a reversal. If it is indeed a trend reversal, price is likely to remain below 1.5600 and break 1.5560 to the downside.

Fundamental Outlook

At 08:30 am GMT the UK will release the Second Estimate of the Gross Domestic Product and although it tends to have a slightly lower impact than the Preliminary GDP Estimate, it still remains a high-importance indicator. For today’s release the predicted value is 0.6%. Numbers above forecast may strengthen the Pound and drive the pair higher.
