Talking Points:
- GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
- Support: 1.6459-79, 1.6378, 1.6296
- Resistance:1.6542, 1.6599, 1.6643
The British Pound turned lower anew against the US Dollar, sinking to the weakest level in over five months. Near-term support is in the 1.6459-79 area, marked by the March 24 swing low and the 23.6% Fibonacci expansion. A break below that on a daily closing basis exposes the 38.2% level at 1.6378. Alternatively, a reversal above the 14.6% Fib at 1.6542 clears the way for a challenge of falling trend line resistance at 1.6599.
Risk/reward considerations argue against entering short with prices in close proximity to support. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bullish reversal signal suggests taking up the long side is premature. We will remain flat for now.
