GBP/USD got under pressure after failure around 1.6860
FXStreet (Moscow) - GBP/USD opened at 1.6850, reached 1.6862 session high, but slid to 1.6836, when failed to break higher.
Working on cross moves
The pair unfortunately was not able to recover above 1.69 area on strong PMIs and was pushed back by weak IP data. Even the broad-based sell-off of the USD didn’t help the pound. Today we won’t see any market movers from the UK, and the investors will focus their attention on the ECB meeting. The only way the pair may start moving is through EUR/GBP cross, and only if we see significant reactions on its side. The downside of the pound may be limited by 1.6821, and the upside - by 1.6887 resistance.
