GBP/USD revisits February highs and retreats

GBP/USD rose to the 1.4670 area during the New York session but lacked momentum to overcome the resistance area which had capped the upside back in February.

GBP/USD made a marginal new high at 1.4669 amid broad USD weakness, but it was rejected and pulled back to the 1.4620 zone, where it trades around 0.14% higher on the day.

Cable is on track to post its third weekly gain as it moves away from multi-year lows scored earlier this year at the 1.3835 region.


GBP/USD levels to watch

In terms of technical levels, next resistances could be found at 1.4667/69 (Feb 4, Apr 29 highs) and 1.4700 (psychological level). On the other hand, supports are seen at 1.4575 (Apr 29 low), 1.4522 (Apr 28 low) and 1.4494 (Apr 27 low).

USD/JPY unstoppable hits fresh 18-month lows
