Talking Points:

  • GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Flat

  • Support: 1.5639, 1.5549, 1.5459

  • Resistance: 1.5750, 1.5818, 1.5929

The British Pound turned lower against the US Dollar as expected after putting in a bearish Evening Star candlestick pattern. A daily close below the38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 1.5639 exposes the 50% level at 1.5549. Alternatively, a turn above the 23.6% Fib at 1.5750 opens the door for a challenge of the 14.6% retracement at 1.5818.

Prices are wedged too closely between near-term support and resistance levels to justify taking a trade on a long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. With that in mind, we will continue to stand aside until a more attractive opportunity presents itself.
