The GBP/USD is trading today inside of a defined 55-pip range. Prices are currently turning lower after testing range resistance, which is found at the R3 Camarilla pivot at a price of 1.4403. So far price action has traversed today’s range once, and if market conditions continue traders may look for GBP/USD to again trade towards support. Range support is denoted in the graph above by the S3 pivot, which is located at a price of 1.4348.
While many traders are expecting breakouts to develop during tomorrows NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) news event, today traders should also continue to monitor both the R4 and S4 pivot points for a higher high or lower low. A move above 1.4430 at today’s R4 pivot point would signal a bullish breakout. In this scenario, traders may extrapolate 1X today’s 55 pip trading range to find preliminary breakout targets near 1.4485. Alternatively, a bearish breakout for the day begin beneath the S4 pivot at 1.4321. After extrapolating 1X the range, this places initial bearish targets at 1.4266.
