"In view of the scale of the move there may be an opportunity to pick up some sterling at cheaper levels. We could be getting to the stage where we're pricing in too much concern. There's a fair amount of event risk priced into the pound already." 
- Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (based on Bloomberg)


Pair's Outlook

This week the Sterling depreciated noticeably, as it was traded around a 1.52 benchmark on Monday, but currently the price fluctuates in a 1.50-1.51 range. Yesterday the pair bounced from the weekly S2 at 1.5013 and gained to the weekly S1 at 1.5094, but that might be just a short-term retracement, as in general sentiments among analyst remain bearish.

Traders' Sentiment
As the pair does not show any signs of potential correction or even consolidation, the bullish side contracts together with the decreasing price. There are 66% of long positions and 34% of short ones. Placed orders market is being occupied by bears, since short positions have already reached a 54% share.
