GBP/USD is extending its weakness as ‘Brexit’ is creating volatility as it gets priced in. The BOE financial policy committee increased the countercyclical capital buffer rate for UK exposures from 0% to 0.5% and raises risks of the UK economy as more possibilities of the EU referendum ‘Brexit’ emerge.
The GBP/USD is still trading above the long term support 1.4057 but breaking 1.4080 will push the GBP/USD lower reaching 1.4030 and 1.3980 as next support points.
However, BOE financial stability might overcome the threats and cutting 1.4270 creates a bullish signal toward 1.4290 and 1.4344 as next resistance levels.
