Identifying support and resistance levelsIdentifying support and resistance levels is crucial for effective technical analysis when trading GBP/USD or any other financial instrument. Here's how traders can identify support and resistance levels on GBP/USD charts:
**1. Historical Price Levels:**
- Look for historical price levels where the GBP/USD exchange rate has previously reversed direction or experienced significant price movement. These levels are likely to act as support or resistance in the future.
**2. Swing Highs and Lows:**
- Identify swing highs and lows on the GBP/USD chart, which represent peaks and troughs in price movements, respectively. Swing highs often act as resistance levels, while swing lows serve as support levels.
**3. Round Numbers and Psychological Levels:**
- Round numbers, such as whole numbers and half-numbers (e.g., 1.3000, 1.3500), tend to attract attention from traders and may act as psychological support or resistance levels.
**4. Pivot Points:**
- Pivot points are calculated based on the previous day's high, low, and close prices and are used by many traders to identify potential support and resistance levels for the current trading day.
**5. Moving Averages:**
- Moving averages, such as the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, can act as dynamic support or resistance levels. Traders often observe how price interacts with these moving averages to gauge the strength of the trend.
**6. Trendlines:**
- Trendlines drawn on GBP/USD charts can also serve as dynamic support or resistance levels. An upward trendline may act as support, while a downward trendline may act as resistance.
**7. Fibonacci Retracement Levels:**
- Fibonacci retracement levels, derived from the Fibonacci sequence, are commonly used to identify potential support and resistance levels based on the ratio of key Fibonacci numbers (e.g., 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%).
**8. Volume Profile:**
- Volume profile analysis involves observing the volume traded at different price levels. High-volume nodes (areas with significant trading volume) often act as support or resistance levels.
**9. Consolidation Zones:**
- Identify consolidation zones or trading ranges where price has moved sideways for an extended period. The upper and lower boundaries of these zones may act as resistance and support levels, respectively.
**10. Price Patterns:**
- Certain price patterns, such as double tops, double bottoms, head and shoulders patterns, and triangles, can also help identify potential support and resistance levels.
By incorporating these methods into their technical analysis, traders can effectively identify key support and resistance levels on GBP/USD charts, allowing them to make more informed trading decisions and manage risk effectively.

Gbp/Usd :Likely to the 10 week range top around 1.2620Gbp/Usd got a strong support around 1.2075 ,many times tested (even with a fat finger once march low 1.1410) and failed to break .Although on daily TF , 50-55 Exponential moving average around 1.2350-1.12360 stands as a strong resistance ,breaking the daily fib pivot 1.2272 is likely which will makes further way up to test the 1.2340 & 1.2491 resistance respectively . On the other side , if price breaks the 1.2190 hourly support then once again a test to the major support around 1.2075 is possible thus keeping the pair in the same 10 week range .
On Calendar we have data numbers from the US later on and MPC member Saunders speech as well
