Cable was definitely another big loser last week. After reversing from the resistance at 1.45, it was printing lower prices almost every day last week. It had finished the week below 1.41.
Daily charts suggest that downtrend is intact and it’s reasonable to assume the double bottom might be formed at 1.3850 sometimes within the next 8 weeks.
Before this is the case, GBPUSD could see a correction to the upside from the current levels.
There is a major support at 1.41 (marked in yellow), which was very responsive in the past.
Daily stochastics suggest the reversal to the upside could take place in the short term.
Looking at intraday charts, the pair shows some reversal from the support mentioned above.
If the current level is a technical higher high, we could consider to enter longs on pullback around 1.4100.
If the price fails to print higher and breaches the recent low 1.4050, its likely GBPUSD will be printing much lower after that. Bears could hunt a good short setup around the same levels, assuming the prices breaks the lows first.
At the moment, Cable printed double top on 15min charts, I would like to wait for a clearer higher high first, before I can consider this setup.
Stops below the recent lows, target 1.43- 50% Fib level.
