Offered tone around USD gathered traction following dismal US retail sales figure, helping the GBP/USD pair recover from three-day low of 1.4146.

Back above 23.6% Fibo

The spot now trades above 1.4164 (23.6% of 1.5230-1.3835). US retail sales not only took a hit in February, but were also weak in January as opposed to an initially reported rise of 0.2%. The data helped Cable to move off lows.

However, Brexit fears made a comeback today and that is limiting the recovery in the pair around 1.4190 levels. The focus now is on the overall market sentiment.

On the other hand, violation at immediate support of 1.4164 (23.6% of 1.5230-1.3835) would open doors for re-test of daily low of 1.4146, under which spot could drop to 1.41 handle.
