On a loss of there its 2009 high at 1.6742 will be aimed at with a clearance of there opening further upside risk towards the 1.7000 level, its psycho level. While GBP holds above its MT rising trendline, the above view remains valid. On the downside, its July 22’09 low at 1.6308 comes in as the initial support followed by the 1.6034 level, its July 13’09 low and then its July 08’09 low at 1.5984. Although the last two levels are expected to reverse roles and provide support, a turn below there will set the stage for a move lower towards the 1.5802 level, its Jun 08’09 low. All in all, GBP looks to retarget the 1.6742 level as it still maintains its overall medium term upside bias.
