GBP/USD bulls pushing at massive key level

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 stays slightly offered below 1.3600

Following an initial drop to fresh six-day lows, GBP/USD now picks up some updside traction and trades in levels just shy of the 1.3600 barrier on Thursday. The generalised cautious tone among market participants continue to underpin the Greenback ahead of Friday’s data releases and the Fed Warsh’s speech.

EUR/USD struggles for direction around 1.1650

EUR/USD gyrates around the 1.1650 region amid the absence of clear direction and following an earlier drop to the 1.630 area. The pair’s vacillating mood comes in response to the equally irresolute price action in the US Dollar as investors warm up for the release of the NFP Annual Revision and the speech by the Fed’s Warsh at the Jackson Hole Symposium, both events due on Friday.

Gold resumes profit-taking pullback before Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech

Gold is back in the red below $4,600 early Friday, resuming its corrective decline from 15-week highs of $4,697 earlier this week. Gold bulls are consolidating the upside, awaiting Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Kevin Warsh’s debut at the annual Jackson Hole Symposium.
