Current trend

The pair continues trading in a downward trend having lost around 2% of the value since the beginning of the year.
The Pound is substantially pressured by the possibility of a British exit from the European Union. The pressure was magnified because of the statements by the number of UK’s politicians who supported the decision to leave the EU. Current situation is likely to last until 23 June when the referendum on the matter is due in the UK.

In addition, the pair is pressured by significantly lowered probability of monetary policy tightening in the UK due to weak macroeconomic statistics that come out in the country lately.

The nearest support level is at 1.3876.
