Commerzbank: comments on GBP/USD

Technical analysts at Commerzbank note that as the British pound broke through resistance band between 1.6170 and 1.6177 versus its US counterpart, it may now rise to 1.63.

Never the less, the specialists believe that the bears will remain stronger as long as the pair GBP/USD is trading below 2010 maximums in the 1.6465 area. According to the bank, if sterling falls below the February minimum at 1.5962, it will be poised for a decline to 1.56.
