Talking Points
- GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Shorts Preferred
- Harami Forming, Yet Awaits Close of Current Candle
- Leap Above 1.6660 Required To Suggest A Recovery
GBP/USD is showing tentative signs of life as a Harami pattern awaits confirmation from the close of the current candle. If validated by a climb over the 1.6660 hurdle and ensuing up-day the reversal pattern could suggest a corrective bounce. However, against the backdrop of a sustained downtrend some a more sustained recovery may warrant some doubt.
