UK Dec Retail Sales in at -0.1% M/M vs 0.2% estimated, pushing price lower below 1.60.

Hourly Chart
Price continues is journey south with the declining trendline formed during the week respected. We’re currently moving away from the trendline, however due to today being the end of the week, we could still see pullbacks as short sellers close out positions to take in profits in a week that saw continuous GBP weakness. 1.5960 could act as interim resistance against any sharp pullbacks.
Weekly Chart
The same 1.60 is significant from the Weekly Chart perspective, though a case for a double top can only be confirmed should price hit around 1.58 levels for a move towards 1.54. Keep a look out on next Monday’s levels for any early indication of price heading lower. Should we fail to push lower and see price rallying back up, 1.63 comes back into focus and the double top pattern will be invalidated.
