"While holiday and year-end trade can often be erratic and choppy, the dollar should ultimately remain biased higher, given the Fed's recent reduction in stimulus and the view that U.S. bond yields will likely continue to rise."
- Commonwealth Foreign Exchange Inc. (based on MarketWatch)

Pair's Outlook

GBP/USD failed to settle above the resistance at 1.6348/43 yesterday and is thereby looking in the direction of the support at 1.6204/1.6199. There the currency pair will be expected to receive enough bullish impetus in order to once again challenge the January high that has already proven to be tough on several occasions throughout December.

Traders' Sentiment

The Sterling has slightly gained in popularity, but an overwhelming majority of the SWFX market participants are still bearish on the currency with respect to the U.S. Dollar—72% of open positions are short. Meanwhile, within 50 pips from the spot the gap between the shares of buy and sell orders widened to –18%.
