GBP/USD 1.3200 Psychological Level!

GBP/USD plunged after failing once again to stabilize above the weekly pivot point of 1.3355 and above the 1.3353 static resistance (support turned into resistance). The current recovery could be only a temporary one.

GBP/USD Forecast!

GBP/USD maintains a bearish bias as long as it stays below the 1.3300 psychological level. Stabilizing below the 1.3259 could signal that the pair could approach and reach the 1.3194 today's low.

After the current sell-off, a minor rebound is natural. The bias is bearish, so a new sell-off is favored after ending a temporary bounce back.
