Talking Points
- GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
- Morning Star Pattern To Hint At A Bounce If Confirmed
- Sustained Recovery Questionable Amid Broader Downtrend
GBP/USD’s rebound has yielded a Morning Star formation, which offers a glimmer of hope for the Pound bulls. The key reversal pattern awaits confirmation from a successive up-day, which if received could raise the possibility of a bounce towards the 1.6450 mark. Yet some skepticism over the potential for shift in sentiment may be warranted, given several failed attempts by the pair to stage a recovery over recent weeks.
