FXstreet.com (Córdoba) - The GBP/USD recovery attempt stalled once again ahead of the 1.6000 psychological level as the pair extends its consolidation roughly between 1.5900-1.6000.

GBP/USD found resistance at the 1.5990 area, and slid toward 1.5950 before bouncing slightly. At the time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.5975 a few pips above its opening price.
