GBP/USD failed earlier today just below the 15th square root relationship of the 2012 low at 1.6610. This reversal has the potential to be significant given it has come during the Fibonacci cycle turn window we highlighted last week. January is also one of the worse performing months for the Pound on a seasonal basis so several factors seem to be aligning here for decent counter-trend move lower - if not a full-fledged reversal. Key support for us looks to be the 1.6410 level as a daily close below this level will confirm that a top of some importance is indeed in place. The 1.6610 resistance should hold over the next few days if the negative cyclical view is correct
