Daily Analysis
Consolidation with upside bias
Resistance
1.5421 - 38.2% r of 1.5930-1.5107
1.5382 - Last Fri's 2-1/2 week high
1.5340 - Reaction hourly fm 1.5300
Support
1.5261 - Last Thur's low
1.5245 - Last Mon's high (now sup)
1.5212 - 61.8% r of 1.5107-1.5382
. GBP/USD - 1.5319... Cable continued its recent winning streak n rallied to a 2-/12 week peak of 1.5382 on Fri following release of dovish FOMC minutes late Thur b4 coming off in NY session on Fri due to selling of sterling vs euro.
. Let's look at the bigger picture 1st, despite resumption of medium-term decline fm Jun's 7-month peak at 1.5930 to 1.5107 on the 1st day of Oct, cable's impressive rally to as high as 1.5382 last Fri suggests aforesaid fall has made a temporary low there as this lvl was accompanied by 'bullish convergences' on both hourly & daily indicators. A daily close abv 1.5383 would bode well for the pound to extend current gain to 1.5421 n possibly twd 1.5518 later this month, being a 'minimum' 38.2% r n 50% r respectively of said decline fm 1.5930. Therefore, buying cable on dips is favoured n only a daily close below 1.5245 (prev. res, now sup) suggests 1st leg of correction over n risks 1.5180/90.
. Today, although Fri's intra-day selloff fm 1.5382 (Europe) to as low as 1.5300 suggests a temporary top is made (as said Fri's top was accompanied by 'bearish divergences' on hourly indicators) n 1-2 days of consolidation is seen,
reckon 1.5261 (Thur low) would contain weakness n yield rebound.
