GBPUSD TECHS: Trendline Support Remains Exposed

Sep-24 05:10
  • RES 4: 1.3893 1.236 proj of the Aug 1 - 14 - Sep 3 price swing     
  • RES 3: 1.3789 High Jul 1 and key resistance
  • RES 2: 1.3753 High Jul 2
  • RES 1: 1.3661/3726 High Sep 18 / 17 
  • PRICE: 1.3508 @ 06:10 BST Sep 24
  • SUP 1: 1.3458 Trendline support drawn from the Aug 1 low
  • SUP 2: 1.3453 Low Sep 22
  • SUP 3: 1.3333 Low Sep 3 and a key support 
  • SUP 4: 1.3282 Low Aug 6      

A bullish theme in GBPUSD remains intact and the latest move down from the Sep 17 high is considered corrective - for now. However, the pair has traded through the 50-day EMA and this leaves support at 1.3458 exposed, a trendline drawn from the Aug 1 low. Clearance of this line would strengthen a bearish threat. For bulls, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on key short-term resistance at 1.3726, the Sep 17 high.
