GBP/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2897; (P) 1.2914; (R1) 1.2940; More….

GBP/USD drew support form 4 hour 55 EMA and recovered but stays below 1.3012 resistance. Intraday bias remains neutral first. Decisive break of 1.3012 will resume the whole rise from 1.1958. Further rally should be seen to 61.8% projection of 1.2195 to 1.3012 from 1.2768 at 1.3273 next. For now, outlook will remain bullish as long as 1.2768 support in case of retreat. However, break of 1.2768 will bring deeper fall back to 1.2582 resistance turned support.

In the bigger picture, a medium term bottom was formed 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 1.2582 resistance turned support holds. However, firm break of 1.2582 will turn focus back to 1.1946 low.
