GBP/USD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2859; (P) 1.2887; (R1) 1.2925; More

GBP/USD’s decline resumed after brief consolidation and reaches as low as 1.2810 so far. Intraday bias is back on the downside for 1.2588 key near term support. . As noted before, we’re favoring the case that correction from 1.1946 is completed at 1.3267. Decisive break of 1.2588 will confirm our view and target a test on 1.1946 low. On the upside, break of 1.3030 resistance is needed to indicate completion of the fall from 1.3267. Otherwise, outlook will stay cautiously bearish in case of recovery.

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 1.2588 will indicate that such down trend is resuming.
