- GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
- Piercing Line Pattern Awaiting Confirmation Near Recent Lows

This is given the heavy selling pressure within the 1.6060/1.6100 region and the context of a core downtrend on the daily. In turn this casts the spotlight on the recent lows near 1.5950.
