"GBP/USD has now reached critical medium-term trend-line support dating back to August, and as such, moves over the next few days should provide
a clearer picture of the direction the pair decides to take. A break and close below the trend-line support which comes in just under today"s lows at 2.0330 would trigger a fresh round of selling to open a retreat back to the 2.00 handle.

11:50 GMT November 16 Tripped sell stops below 2.0400-05 and 2.0380 helped depress cable to 24-day lows just shy of 2.0350 during the European morning, as the pound continued to suffer on UK rate cut fears. The probability of a 25bp UK rate cut to 5.5% as early as next month has risen on the back of yesterday"s disappointing UK retail sales data and Wednesday"s dovish BoE inflation report.
If there is a UK rate cut on December 6, it is unlikely to be a one-off
"insurance" move as per August 2005. A leading French bank is forecasting that the UK base rate will be 4.5% at the end of next year.
The Nationwide forecasts that annualized UK house price inflation will fall
to zero next year, from 9.7% at present (Times website).
2.0335 (100-day moving average) and 2.0320 (2% MA band) are support points south of 2.0350. Sterling resistance levels include 2.0407 (today"s Asian session base), 2.0418 (yesterday"s floor), 2.0455, 2.0483 and 2.0500-05.
US TIC data is due at 14:00GMT today. Minutes from the November 7/8 BoE MPC meeting will be published next week (Nov 21).Ignored
