The GBP/USD should have been down on bearish fundamentals such as the weak service and manufacturing sectors.  This was not the case, however, on Wednesday as the British Pound rallied.  This is a clear indication of how weak the U.S. financial markets actually are.  Look for the Bank of England to leave borrowing costs unchanged.

The charts indicate strength as the market closed above support at 1.9788.  Look for this rally to continue into a retracement zone at 1.9828 to 1.9870.  

Downtrending resistance is at 1.9868 forming a resistance cluster at 1.9868 to 1.9870.  This resistance cluster is the best sell area today.

Forex (off-exchange foreign currency futures and options or FX) trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. The value of currencies may fluctuate and investors may lose all or more than their original investments. Risks also include, but are not limited to, the potential for changing political and/or economic conditions that may substantially affect the price and/or liquidity of a currency. The impact of seasonal and geopolitical events is already factored into market prices. Prices in the underlying cash or physical markets do not necessarily move in tandem with futures and options prices.

Loss-limiting strategies such as stop loss orders may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
