GBP/USD Mid-Day Outlook



No change in GBP/USD's outlook. Retreat from 1.6546 is still in progress but we'd expect downside to be contained by 4 hours 55 EMA (now at 1.6365) and bring another rise. Above 1.6546 will target a test on 1.6744 high first. Break will confirm up trend resumption for 61.8% projection

Trade Idea Wrap-up: GBP/USD – Buy at 1.6355



Although intra-day fall from 1.6496 on week UK data signals the decline from 1.6547 top is still in progress and may bring a stronger retracement of recent upmove to 1.6355-60 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 1.6055-1.6547) cannot be ruled out, near term oversold condition should limit downside and bring rebound later.

GBP/USD to Break out of Narrow Range in the NY Session



The 1H chart of the GBP/USD shows the market in a tight range to start the week. After finding support at 1.6150, the market also found resistance near 1.6220. The near-term pivot above that is the 1.6240-1.6250 area. The market should start picking up in the NY session for a breakout

Trade Idea Wrap-up: GBP/USD –Sell at 1.6320



As the British pound has rebounded again due to short-covering on back of dollar’s retreat versus other European currencies, suggesting further consolidation above last week’s low of 1.6147 would take place and retracement to the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.6277) would be seen, however, resistance at 1.6322 should limit

Trade Idea Wrap-up: GBP/USD –Buy at 1.6415



Although the British pound has retreated from 1.6518, cable’s intra-day rally on hawkish BOE inflation report adds credence to our view that a temporary low has been formed at 1.6270 earlier this week and consolidation with upside bias remains for retracement of recent decline to previous resistance at 1.6544 but

Technical Analysis Daily: GBP/USD



On Monday Pound/Dollar decreased with almost 150 pips, later recovered, in line with the neutral Interbank sentiment at almost +3%. The Cable depreciated from 1.6418 to 1.6269 yesterday, later climbed up to 1.6424, closing the day at 1.6401. Today the British Pound is showing some weakness again, but movements are

GBP/USD Daily Outlook



GBP/USD's break of 1.6406 minor resistance suggests that a temporary low is in place at 1.6269 and intraday bias is turned neutral for the moment. Nevertheless, another fall is still expected as long as 1.6573 resistance holds. Below 1.6269 will target 1.6166 support first.

Trade Idea Wrap-up: GBP/USD –Sell at 1.6570



Despite intra-day marginal fall to 1.6355 (yesterday’s low was 1.6357), lack of follow through selling and the subsequent rebound suggest consolidation would take place and retracement to the Ichimoku cloud (now at 1.6501-09) cannot be ruled out, however, upside should be limited to 1.6540/50 and renewed selling interest should emerge

GBP/USD Mid-Day Outlook

With 1.6431 support intact, we'd still expect recent rally to resume sooner or later. Break of 1.6744 will target 100% projection of 1.5343 to 1.6400 from 1.5935 at 1.6992, which is close to 1.7 psychological level and 1.7043 key resistance. However break of 1.6431 will dampen this view and bring

GBP/USD: Trading the Bank of England Interest Rate Decision



The Bank of England is widely expected to hold the benchmark interest rate at 0.50% while maintaining its asset purchase target at GBP 200B, but currency traders may show a bearish reaction to the announcement as interest rate expectations deteriorate.



Trade Idea Wrap-up: GBP/USD –Stand aside

Although current breach of previous support at 1.6453 confirms the decline from 1.6747 top has resumed and further weakness to 1.6393 (61.8% projection of 1.6747 to 1.6453 measuring from 1.6575) and possibly towards 1.6360 is likely, however, reckon 1.6342 (50% Fibonacci retracement of 1.5937-1.6747) would hold from here due to weakening of downward momentum.

Trade Idea Wrap-up: GBP/USD –Buy at 1.6665

Although the British pound has rebounded in tandem with euro, break of resistance at 1.6747 (last week’s high) is needed to confirm recent upmove has resumed and extend gain to 1.6790/00 but near term overbought condition should limit upside and reckon 1.6866 (100% projection of 1.6166-1.6600 measuring from 1.6432) would remain intact.

GBP/USD - Potential Ascending Triangle

Sterling is starting the month of May slightly weaker to the U.S. dollar. After making an attempt at a new 17-month high, price movement is approaching critical trendline support. The 60-minute chart above displays a potential ascending triangle (shown in blue). If we see a close above the 1.6742 level,

GBP/USD Weekly Outlook

GBP/USD rose further to as high as 1.6744 last week and remained strong. Daily MACD's break of down trend line suggests that the pair is gaining momentum again. Hence, while some consolidations might be seen below 1.6744 temporary top initially this week, we'd expect downside to be contained above 1.6431

GBP/USD Daily Outlook

GBP/USD's rally lost momentum after hitting 1.6744 and made a temporary top there. Some consolidations could be seen now but downside is expected to be contained by 1.6431 support and bring rally resumption. Above 1.6744 will target 100% projection of 1.5343 to 1.6400 from 1.5935 at 1.6992, which is close to 1.7 psychological level and 1.7043 key resistance.

Technical Analysis Daily: GBP/USD

On Thursday Pound/Dollar corrected downwards with over 120 pips, not exactly in line with the positive Interbank sentiment at under +6%.

Despite intra-day rally to 1.6747 on dollar’s broad-based weakness, as the British pound has retreated from there in part due to profit-taking, suggesting consolidation below said resistance would take place and test of the Kijun-Sen (now at 1.6624) cannot be ruled out, however, break of previous resistance at 1.6600 is
