Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD –Sell at 1.6550

Despite intra-day marginal fall to 1.6355 (yesterday's low was 1.6357), lack of follow through selling and the subsequent rebound suggest consolidation would take place and retracement to the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.6508) cannot be ruled out, however, upside should be limited to 1.6540/50 and resistance at 1.6575 should hold, bring another decline. A break of said support would extend recent decline from 1.6747 top to 1.6342
