GBP/USD Bounces-Off 1.4200, Tracks Oil Price Recovery
The GBP bulls found some support just ahead of 1.42 barrier, allowing a minor-recovery in GBP/USD in the last hour.
GBP/USD supported at 1.4200
The
GBP/USD pair trades -0.15% lower at 1.4236, bouncing-off fresh session
lows posted at 1.4202 some minutes ago. The cable is seen lock-stepping
the oil price movement, with the prices making fresh recovery attempts,
tracking a minor pullback in the black gold. Moreover, the GBP/USD pair
also finds respite from the rally seen in the European equities on the
back of improved risk sentiment. Germany’s DAX jumps +2.35%, the UK’s
FTSE rises +1.50%, while the pan-European benchmark, the Euro Stoxx 50
rockets +2.71%.
However, the bearish pressures still remain
intact amid broad based US dollar recovery on expectations of a rebound
in the US retail sales as well as PPI data, due later in the NY session.
GBP/USD Levels to consider
The pair
has an immediate resistance at 1.4268/80 (daily pivot & high), above
which 1.4338/46 (Apr 4 High/ daily R1) would be tested. On the flip
side, support is seen at 1.4202/1.4198 (daily low/ Apr 12 low) below
that at 1.4179 (10-DMA).
