GBP/USD.... Go short & Enjoy the fallGBPUSD is breaking below the trendline on hourly charts, On technical analysis ground it showing the weakness after a great run up, It can be a exhaustion after a good pull back so losing strength and momentum at this point of time so the weakness will not continue for a longer time and after taking a support it will get ready for the next run up in uptrend.
For trading point of view better go with the short position at this level with keeping an stop loss mentioned in the chart and wait for the target, after reaching the target keep trailing for more, In case if stop loss triggers go buy at the same level and then wait for a good run up.
All the best!!

GBP/USD tests 50% Fibo at 1.3485GBP/USD tests 50% Fibo at 1.3485
In essence, the past 24 hour the cable spent testing different support levels. In first hours of this trading session, it bypassed the weekly S1 and now is trying to pave the path through another support area located between the 1.3497 and 1.3491 marks. Despite an active pressure, these attempts most probably will fail because of the barrier formed by the 50% Fibonacci retracement level located at 1.3485 and the bottom trend-line of a junior descending channel. On the other hand, due to anticipation of the upcoming data releases the pair might prematurely reach the monthly PP at 1.3458. As largest part of pending orders in 50-pip range is set to buy, the currency rate, generally, is expected to make a rebound near one of the above support levels.
GBP/USD drops below weekly PPGBP/USD drops below weekly PP
As most of the American macroeconomic data released on Friday did not justify expectations, the cable ended the week in a green zone. Nevertheless, in the early hours of this trading session it started with an active plunge, slipping through the updated weekly PP, the 55- and 100-hour SMAs. An existence of two ascending channels suggests that the drop might be stopped near the 1.3545 level. In the meantime, other technical indicators point out that the two closest notable support levels are located around the 1.3540 and 1.3500 marks. Nevertheless, there is a need to take into account that majority of pending orders both in 50- and 100-pip ranges are set to sell.
GBP/USD does not succeed to climb above 1.3400GBP/USD does not succeed to climb above 1.3400
Despite adoption of tax reform and release of various macroeconomic data, the British Pound is continuing to trade against the Dollar in a two-week long symmetrical triangle whose upper boundary simultaneously represents the slope of a larger falling wedge pattern. Because of an empty economic calendar as well lower liquidity the cable is expected to remain within the above patterns today. In the meantime, an allocation of pending orders suggests that traders are rather eager to acquire the Sterling, which is contrary to the generally bearish market sentiment. From daily chart perspective, it looks like the pair will make inch higher from the triangle due to support set up by the weekly and monthly PP located around the 1.3370 mark.
GBP/USD forms new triangleGBP/USD forms new triangle
Yesterday’s plunge to the 1.3330 level with the subsequent return to the 1.3400 mark points out that fluctuations of the cable are framed by the minor symmetrical triangle pattern. Theoretically, a combination of the weekly and monthly PP strengthened by the 55-hour SMA should a necessary support for a breakout to the top. However, previous trading session showed that traders are rather neglecting these technical indicators. Accordingly, these ups and downs are likely to continue until the pair an impulse from some fundamental event, such as final adoption of tax reform by the Congress. In support of this assumption, the pending orders in 100-pip range are equally split between buys and sells.
GBP/USD plunges amid Brexit newsGBP/USD plunges amid Brexit news
Due to existence of a strong selling pressure in the area between 1.3440 and 1.3450 marks, the cable could not climb higher and was forced to make a rebound. However, as this turnaround matched with news coming from Brussels, the Pound lost more than 100-pips against the Dollar and ended the week at the psychological 1.3300 support level. Today the pair is expected to resume the upward movement, even though it is unlikely to exceed the 1.3380 mark, as this area is reliably secured by the weekly and monthly PP as well as the slipping 55-, 100- and 200-hour SMA. In other words, without another fundamental impulse the pair will be forced to retreat once again. In larger perspective it looks like the Friday’s plunge led to transformation of a medium descending channel into the falling wedge formation.
GBP/USD tests 1.3410 GBP/USD tests 1.3410
In first half of Friday’s trading session the Pound was actively appreciating against the Dollar being fuelled by reports about progress made on Brexit divorce bill. However, once this anxiety ran out and the US posted another set of positive employment data the pair returned back to the monthly PP located at the 1.3372 mark. At the moment, the cable is testing combined resistance level set up by the 55-, 100- and 200-hour SMAs as well as the weekly PP at 1.3415. Unless the rate receives a proper impulse from some news, a rebound is expected to happen. Such scenario also looks more plausible from fundamental perspective due to expectations of the upcoming interest rate hike and adoption of tax bill. However, today a deep plunge is unlikely to happen, as the above monthly PP still represents strong support barrier.
GBP/USD struggles to bypass monthly PPGBP/USD struggles to bypass monthly PP
In line with expectations, the overall optimism related to progress made on tax reform and decreased probability of a government shutdown continued to push the cable downwards. Although the pair has crossed the 200-hour SMA, the further plunge was temporarily stopped by the monthly PP at located at the 1.3372 level. But since information background remains positive and the currency rate is located within junior descending channel, it is expected to continue moving to the bottom towards the 1.3340 mark.
In any case, an active surge is unlikely as northern side became protected by a combination of the weekly PP, the 55- and 200-hour SMAs. The only factor that might break the above resistance would be political news especially the one that are related to Brexit.
GBP/USD reaches two month maximum at 1.3550GBP/USD reaches two month maximum at 1.3550
As it appears from hourly chart, the 1.3550 mark signified the two month maximum that the cable could not surpass. In result of a rebound, a new junior descending channel has been formed. The pattern is expected to stay in force at least until the rate will reach support set up by the 100-hour SMA and the weekly PP near 1.3420. If this barrier becomes broken, a more mature support zone should be formed by the 200-hour SMA and the monthly PP at 1.3371.
However, there is an assumption about formation of two other medium ascending channels whose lower boundaries might intersect with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level located at 11.3256 and the monthly S1 at 1.3195. In that case, bears are likely to take the lead for the upcoming two-three weeks.
GBP/USD jumps by 1.1% amid progress in UK and EU talksGBP/USD jumps by 1.1% amid progress in UK and EU talks
As it was warned yesterday, publication of encouraging news from the United States one after another led to notable appreciation of the buck whose surge was stopped only is support zone located around the weekly S1 at 1.3231. Since the rebound was based on reports that Britain has finally managed to reach a deal with the European Union, the Pound advanced by 1.1% just in three hour and ended the day at previously mentioned 1.3380 resistance level.
Although volatility was high, it did not lead to dissolution of the channel. In contrast, it forced only to adjust its boundaries. As a result, during this session bulls are expected to continue trying to push the cable to the weekly R1 at 1.3406. But as this indicator crosses upper trend-line of the pattern, a new rebound is expected to follow.
GBP/USD surges to 1.3360 but then retreats GBP/USD surges to 1.3360 but then retreats
On hourly chart the British Pound is continuing to gain value against the Dollar in a two-week long ascending channel. Generally, the cable is projected to continue heading to the top in the above pattern using support continuously provided by the rising 55- and 100-hour SMAs. The ultimate goal is located near the 1.3430 level and presents location of the upper boundary of a long-term dominant descending channel. However, before that the surge of the currency rate is likely to be stopped in the 1.3370-1.3380 resistance area. In case of retreat, strengthening of the buck in unlikely to exceed the 1.3300 mark, as this support zone is backed up by the updated weekly PP and the above 100-hour SMA. Finally, the only macro release, which might cause notable volatility will the US Prelim GDP.
GBP/USD trades at crossroad of two channelsGBP/USD trades at crossroad of two channels
On Friday, after reaching the 1.3250 mark the cable made a sharp turnaround and slipped back to the 1.3180 level. From fundamental point of view, this movement matched with release of better than expected American housing data. But from technical perspective it signified a rebound from an intersection of upper boundaries of two large descending and ascending channels. In this way bears have outlined strong resistance area through which the pair is unlikely to climb without proper upside momentum.
For this reason, the currency rate is expected to make another reversal even though the bottom trend-line of a junior ascending channel provides perfect support for gradual soar. The upcoming movement to the south is additionally supported by the aggregate market sentiment, which is 51% bearish.
GBP/USD ready for another attempt to jump to 1.3230GBP/USD ready for another attempt to jump to 1.3230
As release of British employment and earnings data, generally, was perceived positively, the Pound expectedly climbed to the 1.3200 level. Nevertheless, a subsequent release of the American retail sales and inflation data neutralized this achievement by returning the pair back to combined support area formed by the 55-, 100- and 200-hour SMAs near the 1.3135 mark. After making a rebound the cable resumed the surge. Second day in a row bulls are hoping to use macroeconomic data release to push the rate to the pre-fall 1.3230 level. Whether they succeed or not will mainly depend on the UK retail sales growth rate. There just a need to take into account that the pair is unlikely to climb above a combination of the monthly PP and upper edge of dominant channel from the north and the above MAs from the south.
