GBP/USD Candlestick Analysis: Rebound Pauses Below 1.55

GBP/USD Candlestick Analysis: Rebound Pauses Below 1.55

Talking Points:

The British Pound paused to consolidate gains below the 1.55 figure against the US Dollar having broken its seven-month down trend. Weekly resistance is now at 1.5479, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, with a break above that exposing the 38.2% level at 1.5806. Alternatively, a reversal below the 14.6% Fib at 1.5277 targets falling channel top resistance-turned-support at 1.5095.

We entered long GBPUSD at 1.5373, initially targeting 1.5551. Near-term positioning remains supportive and we will continue to hold the trade. A stop-loss will be activated on a daily close below 1.5194. We will take profit on half of the position and move the stop to breakeven once the first target is reached.
