Pair's Outlook
This week GBP/USD pair is very stable, as the price tried to breach the weekly R2 at 1.6115, but still consolidates below it. Seems that the currency pair lost its momentum and gradually declines.

GBP/USD pair experiences a significant extension of bullish sentiments, as 76% are short positions and only 24% are long positions. Pending orders market faces neutral sentiments for a further pair's direction, since 49% of orders are buy and 51% are sell.
