GBPUSD: Sellers Take Over on Failure at 1.60

Strategy: Pending Short

GBPUSD was rejected lower following a test of psychologically significant resistance at the 1.60 figure, with prices finding initial support at 1.5584, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the 5/20-8/6 upswing. As with the Euro, the magnitude of the reversal has made entering short at current levels unattractive from a risk/reward perspective and we will look for a corrective pullback to yield a selling opportunity. Initial resistance lines up at 1.5825.
