A strong support area at 1.6621/00, created by the monthly PP and the weekly S1, did not let the bearishness seen this Monday to persist. Judging by the near-term indicators, the Sterling is likely to recover from here. However, we should take into account substantial downside risks, as for the past 12 months GBP/USD has been forming a rising wedge pattern.
