Better than forecast UK consumer sentiment bullish for GBPUSD

UK consumer confidence improved marginally: GfK’s report said the Consumer Confidence index ticked up to -33 after remaining steady at -34 for April, when a reading of -37 was expected. Readings above 0 indicate optimism, below indicate pessimism. This is bullish for GBPUSD. However, the technical setup is bearish for GBPUSD.
