Pair's Outlook
Just like EUR/USD, the Cable has run into a cluster of supports that are not letting the price to go any lower. Therefore GBP/USD considered to be bullish in the short run. However, the major down-trend resistance line at 1.6235/1.6198 that may be drawn from August of 2009 is highly unlikely give in, meaning that the longer-term outlook for the British Pound remains negative.
