Weekly chart:The pair is trading inside the Ichimoku cloud, close to the cloud’s lower band. The candle sticks have formed a bearish engulfing, which means that sellers have overpowered the buyers in the FX market, and a move down can happen on a weekly basis. In the case of a drop, the pair should be supported at the levels of January in the 1.52 area.

Daily Chart:GBP/USD has been trading bearish inside the Ichimoku cloud for three consecutive days below the range resistance at 1.5736, hinting a move lower is ahead. If the pair breaks the lower band of the Ichimoku cloud, and the near-term support at 1.5484 and rising daily trend line set from June 1, that will open the door for a downside move targeting the lows of the beginning of June at 1.5270. Otherwise, we still remain on the wait-and-see mode.

Sentimental Analysis

The Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI) also signals more near-term GBPUSD losses. The pair’s ratio flipped as retail traders fade three-day decline ahead of the BoE data on Wednesday. The ratio of long to short positions in the GBPUSD stands at 1.17 as nearly 54% of traders are long. The SSI is a contrarian indicator assuming that the majority of the trading crowd usually have the wrong position, therefore signals more losses.
