GBP/USD rebounds to 1.4940
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - After briefly dropping to sub-1.4900 levels on Wednesday, GBP/USD has gathered traction and is now approaching the 1.4930 region.
GBP/USD in lows since July 2013
The pair finally broke below the critical support at 1.5000 today, forced by the relentless march north in the greenback, with the US Dollar Index reaching fresh highs in over a decade near the psychological 100.00 barrier.
Ahead in the week, UK Trade Balance figures are due tomorrow ahead of the speech by Governor Mark Carney at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Sheffield). Prior surveys place the trade deficit at £9.70 billion in January, down from December’s £10.15 billion.
GBP/USD levels to watch
As of writing the pair is down 0.89% at 1.4938 with the next support at 1.4900 (psychological level) ahead of 1.4814 (2013 low Jul.9) and then 1.4803 (low Jun.23 2010). On the upside, a break above 1.5025 (low Mar.8) would expose 1.5077 (23.6% of 1.5554-1.4929) and finally 1.5108 (100-h MA)
