GBP/USD Analysis: Sinks To 1.3040 Amid Interest Rate Hike

A decision to raise the interest rate led to 110 points fall of the rate. Initially, the bottom line of a dominant ascending channel managed to halt the pair near 1.3120. However, the subsequent Governor Carney press conference boosted this process and bears managed to push the pair to the weekly S1. On daily chart it seems that yesterday’s downfall confirmed existence of a new medium-term descending channel. However, even in that case it looks like the Pound has to restore some lost positions before making a decisive breakout from the dominant ascending channel. An upcoming release of the British Services PMI might provide some small impulse for the upward movement. On the other hand, the two resistance levels near 1.3085 and 1.3107 most likely will manage to constrain the pair.
