Strategy: Flat

GBPUSD put in a Shooting Star candlestick below horizontal resistance at 1.5709, hinting a pullback is ahead. Initial support lines up at 1.5563. While the setup is compelling from a technical perspective, we see a risk for further US Dollar weakness into the year-end and will opt to stay on the sidelines for now.
