A separate report showed that the trade deficit of U.K. narrowed to 8.48 billion pound from a previously revised estimate of 9.09 billion pound. Economists were expecting trade deficit to widen.

If it breaks this support level it may go further down to 1.6820 or 1.6776. Stochastic oscillator is also indicating that the pair is now going to follow downtrend reversing the uptrend.
