GBP/USD levels
Technically, GBP/USD momentum has slowed around the cluster of MA's that are turning neutral after the bullish phase from late October business. The recent failure at 1.5480 ahead of the key 1.5509 October highs are keeping pressures on.
However, below neutral territory and on the wide, downside failures at 1.5200 are required to retarget the 1.5172/55 June and September lows en route to the 1.5108 1st October low as suggested by Karen Jones, chief analyst at Commerzbank. "The more important 1.5086/1.5000 support, which is the 61.8% retracement and psychological support, is likely to provide strong support."
