Talking Points:
- GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 1.4950, 1.4696, 1.4431
- Resistance: 1.5224, 1.5551, 1.5653
The British Pound moved lower against the US Dollar as expected after putting in a Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern. Near-term support is at 1.4950, the January 23 low, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion at 1.4696. Alternatively, a turn back above the 14.6% level at 1.5224 opens the door for a challenge of the February 26 high at 1.5551.
Positioning is inconclusive at this point, with prices offering no clear-cut and actionable signal to initiate a long or short trade. We will continue to remain on the sidelines for the time being, waiting for a compelling opportunity to present itself.
