GBP/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2503; (P) 1.2575; (R1) 1.2711; More….

Intraday bias in GBP/USD remains neutral and more consolidation could be seen. But outlook will stay bearish as long as 1.2814 resistance holds. On the downside, below 1.2550 minor support will turn bias to the downside for retesting 1.2391 first. Break will extend the down trend from 1.4376 and target 61.8% projection of 1.4376 to 1.2661 from 1.3174 at 1.2114 next.

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. The structure and momentum of the fall from 1.4376 argues that it’s resuming long term down trend from 2.1161 (2007 high). And this will now remain the preferred case as long as 1.3174 structural resistance holds. GBP/USD should target a test on 1.1946 first. Decisive break there will confirm our bearish view.
