Forex: GBP/USD: Double top to be confirmed - FXstreet.com

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Pound retreat from 1.6375/85 resistance area last week reached 2-week lows at 1.6165, although the pair managed to regain prices above 1.6225, key support level to avoid a "double top" pattern, according to Alberto Muñoz C, technical analyst at FXstreet.com.

Confirmation below 1.6210/25 would trigger a bearish formation says Muñoz: "Daily Double Top pattern is just about to be confirmed. GBPUSD traded even below the key 1.6210 - 1.6225 support area but managed to recover by the end of the session. A close below that area would be very bearish."
