Despite the release of better that expected American income data, the Greenback failed to exploit this fundamental background and eventually depreciated against the Pound.  

At the moment, the pair is going to start testing a combined resistance set up by the upper trend-line of a recently formed descending channel and the 55-hour SMA. As majority of traders remain bullish, the rate might briefly sneak to the top, trying to reach the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.3145. 

However, an aggregate of technical indicators points out on the further downfall of the rate via sending strong sell signal. This direction seems evident also from larger perspective, as a couple of weeks ago the pair made a rebound from the upper boundary of a long-term descending channel.
