Forex Trading - Cable Lower on Retail Sales

Alex Chernomordin — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 06:35:31 -0400

The Cable chart featured below shows the GBP/USD pair trading in a downward channel since July 15th highs, last seen in late March. A weak Retail Sales report today was the culprit for this session's sell off, but the downward channel has held off potential rebounds back toward the highs all week long. It will be interesting to see the currency pair's price action as it approaches support and the 200 day moving average directly below it.
