GBP/USD

In the view of I.Spivak, Currency Strategist at DailyFX, "prices turned lower from resistance at the 1.63 figure after putting a Shooting Star candlestick coupled with negative RSI divergence. Sellers have now cleared initial resistance-turned-support at 1.6177 and aim to clear the next barrier at 1.6099. The 1.5951-1.60 area lines up as the next key support below that. A push beneath this region initially eyes the November 15 low at 1.5822. The 1.6177 level has been recast as resistance once again.
GBPUSD is losing 0.49% at 1.6026 and the next support levels line up at 1.6012 (Lower Bollinger) ahead of 1.6002 (low Dec.7) and 1.5988 (low Nov.30).
