GBP/USD bulls pushing at massive key level

Orlando Gutierrez Learn 2 Trade

Key Resistance: 1.3620 - 1.3660 - 1.3700.

Key Support: 1.3580.

Yesterday on my live show I talked about the massive key level the Pound is trading on against the US Dollar. Let's talk first about the short to mid term structure in this market.

From mid September highs the GBP has depreciated 3.6% against the USD (high to low move) trading inside of a very structured move with impulses being bearish.

At the end of last month price seemed to have bottomed (at least short term on a pullback), after testing and bouncing from the 1.34 level. In the last 5 days we have seen a 230 pip (1.71%) move to the previous broken lows (August 2021 lows) and a test of the overall bearish structure.

The 2 scenarios here are very clear. A break of yesterday's highs would trigger a rally to retest the 1.37 level and a rejection of this massive level and a break of yesterday's lows would trigger a bearish continuation.

My trade on the GBPUSD has been sent to the VIP group and the order is still valid. The link is below.

GBP/USD flies to two-week highs, targets 1.3400

GBP/USD trades well above the 1.3300 barrier on Thursday as the Greenback comes under renewed selling pressure following a softer-than-expected US NFP report in June. Meanwhile, Cable extends its multi-day recovery and looks to challenge 1.3400 sooner rather than later.

EUR/USD: Signs of life emerge above 1.1400

EUR/USD leaves behind two daily pullbacks in a row and advances to multi-day peaks near 1.1470 on Thursday, partially offsetting the sharp decline in place since June. The pair’s decline follows the intense retracement in the US Dollar, which is particularly sponsored by disheartening prints from June’s Payrolls and the sharp sell-off in USD/JPY. The US markets will be closed on Friday due to the Independence Day holiday.

Gold hits six-day tops past $4,100

Gold extends its bullish momentum on Thursday, climbing above the $4,100 mark per troy ounce to reach its highest level in a week. The precious metal’s sharp rebound comes as the US Dollar retreats following disappointing US NFP data.

Strategy's STRC volatility points to late Bitcoin cycle reset — Bitwise

The recent volatility surrounding Strategy's perpetual preferred stock, STRC, could signal that Bitcoin (BTC) is approaching a cycle bottom, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan. In a Wednesday report, Hougan argued that the sharp decline in STRC and Strategy's MSTR stock should be viewed as "classic end-of-cycle dynamics" rather than evidence of a broader structural threat to Bitcoin.
