Talking Points:

  • GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 1.5576, 1.5490, 1.5382
  • Resistance: 1.5663, 1.5770, 1.5837

The British Pound continues to sink against the US Dollar, with prices down for a fourth consecutive day. Near-term support is at 1.5576, the 50% Fibonacci expansion, with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 61.8% level at 1.5490. Alternatively, a reversal above the 38.2% Fib at 1.5663 opens the door for a challenge of the 23.6% expansion at 1.5770.

The available trading range is too narrow to allow for a trade on the long or short side from a risk/reward perspective. We will continue to stand aside for the time being, waiting for a more compelling opportunity to present itself.
