Talking Points:
- GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 1.5034, 1.4802, 1.4570
- Resistance: 1.5177, 1.5293, 1.5409
The British Pound may be readying to turn higher against the US Dollar after producing a bullish Morning Star candlestick pattern. A daily close above the 61.8% Fibonacci expansionat 1.5177 exposes the 50% level at 1.5293. Alternatively, a turn below the 76.4% Fib at 1.5034 opens the door for a challenge of the 100% expansion at 1.4802.
Risk/reward considerations argue against entering long with prices in close proximity to resistance. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests taking up the short side is premature. We will remain flat for now, waiting for a more actionable opportunity to present itself.
