GBP/USD dipped as low as the 1.3670s but is now consolidating above 1.3700 again.
Cable was driven by the USD side of the equation on Friday, which moved in tandem with US bond yields.
GBP/USD saw a brief spell of weakness early on during European hours, dipping as low as the 1.3670s, but has recovered modestly in recent trade and looks likely to close out the week just above the 1.3700 big figure. Support in the form of the 25 March low came in handy, it seems. Perhaps this will be the start of a longer-term double bottom. Conversely, if cable continues to suffer in the coming week and breaks below support in the 1.3670s, that could open the door for an extension of the selling pressure towards the next major area of support around 1.3570.
