GBPUSD TECHS: Bear Threat Still Present

Oct-27 06:38
  • RES 4: 1.3613 76.4% retracement of the Sep 17 - Oct 14 bear leg    
  • RES 3: 1.3544 61.8% retracement of the Sep 17 - Oct 14 bear leg 
  • RES 2: 1.3527 High Oct 1 and a pivot level
  • RES 1: 1.3393/3471 20-day EMA / High Oct 17 and a key resistance  
  • PRICE: 1.3332 @ 06:37 BST Oct 27
  • SUP 1: 1.3249 Low Oct 14 and the bear trigger
  • SUP 2: 1.3220 0.764 proj of the Sep 17 - 25 - Oct 1 price swing 
  • SUP 3: 1.3142 Low Aug 1 and a key support
  • SUP 4: 1.3041 Low Apr 14           

GBPUSD maintains a softer short-term tone for now. Recent weakness highlights the end of the corrective bounce between Oct 14 - 17. Sights are on key short-term support at 1.3249, the Oct 14 low and a bear trigger. A breach of this level would confirm a resumption of the downleg that has been in place since Sep 17. Key near-term resistance is at 1.3471, the Oct 17 high. A breach would signal a possible reversal.

BOBL TECHS: (Z5) Correction Extends

Oct-27 06:34
  • RES 4: 119.000 Round number resistance        
  • RES 3: 118.970 High Oct 17 and key resistance    
  • RES 2: 118.770 High Oct 22 
  • RES 1: 118.600 High Oct 24   
  • PRICE: 118.190 @ 06:18 BST Oct 27
  • SUP 1: 118.148 50-day EMA  
  • SUP 2: 118.043 61.8% retracement of the Sep 25 - Oct 17 bull cycle    
  • SUP 3: 117.900 Low Oct 10   
  • SUP 4: 117.824 76.4% retracement of the Sep 25 - Oct 17 bull cycle 

Bobl futures traded sharply lower Friday, extending the reversal that started on Oct 17. The move down is - for now - considered corrective and is allowing an overbought trend condition to unwind. Attention is on the next important support at 118.148. A clear breach of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement. Initial resistance is at Friday’s high of 118.600.
