Talking Points:
- GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 1.6066, 1.5893, 1.5720
- Resistance: 1.6184, 1.6377, 1.6532
The British Pound pushed upward against the US Dollar as expected after the appearance of a bullish Piercing Line candlestick pattern. A daily close above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracementat 1.6184 exposes the 38.2% level at 1.6377. Alternatively, a turn below the intersection of rising wedge top resistance-turned-support and the 14.6% Fib at 1.6066 clears the way for a challenge of 1.5893, the October 2013 low.
While a long position is tempting from a purely we will tactically opt to stand aside. The Pound faces the release of minutes from this month’s BOE policy meeting, injecting a degree of event risk into the equation. With that in mind, we will wait to see how positioning evolves in the hours ahead before committing to a trade.
