GBPUSD TECHS: Pullback Considered Corrective

Jul-08 17:30
  • RES 4: 1.3852 1.764 proj of the Feb 28 - Apr 3 - 7 price swing
  • RES 3: 1.3835 High Oct 20 2021
  • RES 2: 1.3800 Round number resistance
  • RES 1: 1.3789 High Jul 01 and the bull trigger 
  • PRICE: 1.3568 @ 16:15 BST Jul 8

  • SUP 3: 1.3379 Trendline support drawn from the Jan 13 low 
  • SUP 4: 1.3245 Low May 19

A bull cycle in GBPUSD remains in play and recent weakness appears corrective. Support at 1.3602, the 20-day EMA, has been pierced. A clear break here would signal scope for a deeper correction towards the 50-day EMA at 1.3468. Key resistance and the bull trigger is at 1.3789, the Jul 1 high. Clearance of this hurdle would resume the uptrend. Note that MA studies are in a bull-mode position, suggesting the M/T uptrend is intact.
