"Next major support is around 1.6285, the 38.2% retracement of the roughly 1.48/1.72 rally," Jamie Coleman from FXBeat comments. "As we've long cautioned, while the BOE and the Fed will be the first to move on highe rates, cable was a lousy way to play a BOE rate hike given the likelihood of a major slide in EUR/USD."
