Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2659; (P) 1.2729; (R1) 1.2856; More….
Intraday bias in GBP/USD remains on the upside at this point. Firm break of 100% projection of 1.1958 to 1.2582 from 1.2195 at 1.2819 will pave the way to 161.8% projection at 1.3205 next. On the downside, below 1.2516 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral again. But retreat should be contained well above 1.2195 support for another rally.
In the bigger picture, current development affirms the case of medium term bottoming at 1.1958, ahead of 1.1946 (2016 low). At this point, rise from 1.1958 is seen as the third leg of consolidation from 1.1946. Further rise would be seen back towards 1.4376 resistance. For now, this will remain the favored case as long as 1.2195 support holds.
