The central bank also warned of weakness of pay growth and noted that rate hike would be "gradual and limited", a comment that sent no further indication of the BOE's tightening schedule.

GBP/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.6772; (P) 1.6794; (R1) 1.6831; More...

GBP/USD's fall resumes after brief recovery and dives to as low as 1.6698 so far in early US session . Intraday bias is back on the downside with focus on 1.6692 key support. Decisive break there will confirm larger reversal. And in that case, the fall from 1.7190 medium term top should target 1.6251 cluster support (38.2% retracement of 1.4813 to 1.7190 at 1.6282). On the upside, break of 1.6844 resistance is needed to signal short term bottoming. Otherwise, outlook will stay bearish in case of recovery.

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD - Sell at 1.6760

Despite intra-day brief bounce to 0.9099, dollar faltered below indicated resistance at 0.9105 and has dropped sharply in NY morning after the release of weaker-than-expected US data, dampening our bullishness and test of last week's low at 0.9033 cannot be ruled out, however, break there is needed to revive bearishness and signal top has been formed at 0.9115
