Talking Points:
- GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 1.5430, 1.5194, 1.4811
- Resistance: 1.5551, 1.5699, 1.5814
The British Pound may have resumed its down trend against the US Dollar after prices broke trend line support set from mid-April. A daily close below the 14.6% Fibonacci expansion at 1.5430 exposes the 23.6% level at 1.5194. Alternatively, a move back above the February 26 high at 1.5551 clears the way for a test of the May 21 high at 1.5699.
Prices are too close to support to justify entering short from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests that taking up the long side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
