GBPUSD TECHS: Maintains A Softer Tone

Aug-05 17:30
  • RES 4: 1.3681 High Jul 4
  • RES 3: 1.3620 High Jul 10 
  • RES 2: 1.3448/1.3589 50-day EMA / High Jul 24 
  • RES 1: 1.3365 Low Jul 16
  • PRICE: 1.3304 @ 16:47 BST Aug 5
  • SUP 1: 1.3144 38.2% retracement of the Jan 13 - Jul 1 bull cycle
  • SUP 2: 1.3041 Low Apr 14
  • SUP 3: 1.3000 Round number support 
  • SUP 4: 1.2945 50.0% retracement of the Jan 13 - Jul 1 bull cycle   

A bearish theme in GBPUSD remains intact for now - despite Friday’s rally. Last week’s sell-off resulted in a breach of the bear trigger at 1.3365, the Jul 16 low. The break confirms a resumption of the downleg that started Jul 1 and highlights a clear breach of the trendline drawn from the Jan 13 low. Sights are on 1.3144, a Fibonacci retracement, and 1.3041, the Apr 14 low. Firm resistance is 1.3448, the 50-day EMA. A break of this average is required to signal a reversal.
