GBP/USD Mid-Day Outlook (Update)

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.3169; (P) 1.3233; (R1) 1.3335; More

GBP/USD’s sharp fall and break of 1.3096 minor support argues that rebound from 1.2661 might be completed at 1.3297 already. That was accompanied by rejection from 1.3316 key fibonacci resistance and is in line with our original view. Intraday bias is turned back to the downside for 1.2784 support first. Break there will likely resume larger decline from 1.4376.

In the bigger picture, whole medium term rebound from 1.1946 (2016 low) should have completed at 1.4376 already, after rejection from 55 month EMA (now at 1.4062). The structure and momentum of the fall from 1.4376 argues that it’s resuming long term down trend. And this will be the preferred case as long as 38.2% retracement of 1.4376 to 1.2661 at 1.3316 holds. However, firm break of 1.3316 would bring stronger rebound to 61.8% retracement at 1.3721. And, the eventual depth of the fall from 1.4376, and the chance of hitting 1.1946 low, will depend on the strength of the interim corrective rebound from 1.2661.

GBP/USD’s sharp fall suggests temporary topping at 1.3297 and intraday bias is turned neutral first. On the downside, break of 1.3096 will indicate rejection from 1.3316 key fibonacci resistance. That would be in line with our original view. In that case, corrective rebound from 1.2661 could have completed and intraday bias will be turned back to the downside for 1.2784 support. However, decisive break of 1.3315 will dampen our view and extend the rebound to next fibonacci level at 1.3721 instead.

GBP/USD’s rally extends to as high as 1.3297 and there is no sign of topping yet. Focus stays on 1.3316 key fibonacci resistance. Rejection from there and break of 1.3096 support will be in line with our view. And that should indicate completion of corrective rise from 1.2661 and bring retest of this low.

GBP/USD’s rally resumed after brief consolidation and reaches as high as 1.3297 so far. Intraday bias is back on the upside with focus on 1.3316 key fibonacci resistance.

Intraday bias in GBP./USD is turned neutral with a temporary top in place at 1.3214. Rise from 1.2661 could still extend higher. But as it’s seen as a corrective move, upside should be limited by 1.3316 to bring near term reversal. On the downside, break of 1.3042 resistance turn support will argue that rebound from 1.2661 might be completed. In such case, intraday bias will be turned back to the downside for 1.2784 support to confirm.

GBP/USD Weekly Outlook

GBP/USD’s rebound from 1.2661 extended to as high as 1.3142 last week but formed a temporary top there. Initial bias is neutral this week.

The structure and momentum of the fall from 1.4376 argues that it’s resuming long term down trend. And this will be the preferred case as long as 38.2% retracement of 1.4376 to 1.2661 at 1.3316 holds. However, firm break of 1.3316 would bring stronger rebound to 61.8% retracement at 1.3721. And, the eventual depth of the fall from 1.4376, and the chance of hitting 1.1946 low, will depend on the strength of the interim corrective rebound from 1.2661.

GBP/USD’s breach of 1.3042 suggests that corrective rebound from 1.2661 is resuming. Intraday bias is back on the upside for 100% projection of 1.2661 to 1.3042 from 1.2784 at 1.3165, and possibly above. However, we’d expect upside to be limited by 1.3316 key fibonacci level to complete the corrective rise and bring near term reversal. On the downside, break of 1.2896 minor support will now argue that rebound from 1.2661 has completed. In such case, intraday bias will be turned back to the downside for 1.2784 and then 1.2661.

In the bigger picture, whole medium term rebound from 1.1946 (2016 low) should have completed at 1.4376 already, after rejection from 55 month EMA (now at 1.4099). The structure and momentum of the fall from 1.4376 argues that it’s resuming long term down trend. And this will be the preferred case as long as 38.2% retracement of 1.4376 to 1.2661 at 1.3316 holds. However, firm break of 1.3316 would bring stronger rebound to 61.8% retracement at 1.3721. And, the eventual depth of the fall from 1.4376, and the chance of hitting 1.1946 low, will depend on the strength of the interim corrective rebound from 1.2661.
