With the recent break below 1.4840 the downtrend has been renewed and while the pair holds below 1.4840-50 resistance the overall bias will remain negative for 1.4690 and 1.4615. Crucial on the upside is 1.4927, but even a break above 1.4850 will neutralize current bearish outlook.

GBP/USD
Current level- 1.6367
The pair is in a downtrend after peaking at 1.7042. Trading is situated between the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 1.6454 and 1.5258.
Although the pair reversed at 1.6440, the test of 1.63+ support failed and the consolidation pattern above 1.6250 is still active. We continue to expect a break below 1.63+, that will target directly 1.6130 major support, but from an intraday point of view the bias is neutral and there is still no clear downtrend on the chart. Crucial on the upside is 1.6490 resistance and after we see a break below 1.63+ crucial will become yesterday's high at 1.6440.
Minor | Intraday | Major | Intraweek | |
Resistance | 1.6401 | 1.6490 | 1.6752 | 1.7042 |
Support | 1.6305 | 1.6250 | 1.6130 | 1.5706 |
