Talking Points:
- GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Short at 1.6233
- Support: 1.6043, 1.5931, 1.5749
- Resistance: 1.6166, 1.6237, 1.6459
The British Pound rose as expected against the US Dollar after putting in a bullish Piercing Line candlestick pattern. A daily close above falling trend line resistance at 1.6166 exposes the 23.6%Fibonacci retracement at 1.6237. Alternatively, a turn below the 14.6% Fib expansion at 1.6043 opens the door for a test of the 23.6% threshold at 1.5931.
We entered short GBPUSD at 1.6233and have since taken profit on half of our exposure. The rest remains open to capture any further downside momentum with a stop-loss the breakeven level (1.6233).
