"The PMI data saw some long positions in the pound being pared. The data was not bad but helped the market understand that the recovery we have seen so far may have topped out."
- Caxton FX (based on Reuters)


Pair's Outlook

The monthly pivot point failed to keep GBP/USD afloat and thereby exposed 1.6590/87. And even though this support area is quite dense, consisting of the 55-day SMA and weekly PP, the Sterling is capable of falling deeper, potentially down to 1.65, where it has much better chances of receiving a strong bullish impetus. The reason is that near this round level we have the 100-day SMA, 2011 highs and monthly S1.

Traders' Sentiment

The sentiment towards the Pound returned from moderately bearish to strongly bearish, being that the percentage of short positions open on GBP/USD has surged from 58% up to 68% since the previous report.
