|
What happened at the end of last 24hrs of the trading session?
GBP/USD: The Pound Still consolidates between 1.27770 resistance and 1.27397 support. The Pair attempted to break out at the beginning of the European session but failed and retreated to 1.27457.
What is going on now?
GBP/USD: The Pound is currently trading at 1.27465 a few ticks away from the main support trend line at 1.27397. The pair is still in a sideways trend and will continue like this until it breaks. The breakout point to the upside still remains at 1.2777 and to the downside is at around 1.27397.
My thoughts on what may happen
1. GBP/USD: The Pair will still need to break and hold above 1.2777 to progress to its first target at 1.28395. The current trend indicates a change in direction could be on its way. However, It is always best to view the price action in different time frames as I always do in my analysis to give you a better view of the potential changes into the future direction of the trend
2. Current support: 1.27542, 1.27397
3. Resistance: 1.27770, 1.28020, 1.28320, 1.28395
4. The estimated target to the upside is at 1.28395
5. It is good practice to apply a stop loss to all your trades to protect your capital in case the market moves against your position.
