10/29/2008 –GBP/USD – Price action on GBP/USD, a daily chart of which
is shown, has rebounded in a major way for the last couple of days.
Among other catalysts of this rebound, traders’ expectations of
potential dollar weakening as a result of an expected FOMC rate cut on
Wednesday contributed to the major bullish push. After double-testing a
low extreme at around 1.5265-75, price has formed two long, bullish
bars in its quest to climb back up as of mid-session in New York on
Wednesday. Momentum appears clearly to the upside as oscillators like
the displayed Stochastics, which are just emerging up from oversold,
are also supporting a bullish outlook. Currently, price is approaching
a critical juncture. This juncture combines a key 38.2% Fibonacci
retracement level (the high-to-low retracement span being measured from
the swing high on 9/25/2008 to the extreme swing low on 10/24/2008)
with a significant prior support/resistance level around the 1.6550
region. In the event of a strong break above this level, price could
target further resistance around the 1.6800 region, a key prior support
area and the bottom of the previous triangle. Further major resistance
above that resides around the 1.7000 area, an important psychological
level and the 50% Fibonacci retracement.
