Mid−Day Forex Technical Report − Dollar Firmer after Data, Sterling's Dive Continues by ActionForex.com
Sterling's dive from 1.9894 and break of 1.9650 support indicates that whole fall from 2.0391 has resumed. At this point, intraday bias remains on the downside as long as 1.9714 minor resistance holds. Sustained trading below 1.9650 will set the stage for declining further to retest 1.9337 low. On the upside, above 1.9714 minor resistance will turn intraday outlook neutral first.
