Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3141; (P) 1.3182; (R1) 1.3203; More…
A temporary top is in place at 1.3223 in GBP/USD and intraday bias is turned neutral first. Further rally is expected as long as 1.3032 support holds. Above 1.3223 will target 1.3267 first. Break will resume whole rise from 1.1946 and target 1.3444 key resistance next. But again, price actions from 1.1946 are still seen as a corrective pattern. Hence, we’d expect strong resistance from 1.3444 to limit upside to bring larger down trend reversal eventually. On the downside, break of 1.3032 will indicate near term reversal and turn bias back to the downside for 1.2773 support instead.
In the bigger picture, overall, price actions from 1.1946 medium term low are seen as a corrective pattern. While further rise cannot be ruled out, larger outlook remains bearish as long as 1.3444 key resistance holds. Down trend from 1.7190 (2014 high) is expected to resume later after the correction completes. And break of 1.2773 support will be the first sign that such down trend is resuming.
