GBP/USD Support Only Temporary
18 February 2010
The FX Trader's view -
|
WEEKLY CHART: Last year's recovery found clear resistance from the 2005 1.7043 low,
but also note that this was close to a 50% retracement, of the fall from the Jul-08 2.0153 breakdown point.

DAILY CHART:
Recent violation of the 38.2% pullback level was a negative sign, but in the Commodity Specialist Guide we had been anticipating s/term support from a bear channel base projection, running through 1.5500 currently.
This has been seen, though rally attempts have been muted so far - resistance coming from the 1.5830 30-Dec low.
In the event of renewed strength bears don't want to see higher resistance from the small channel top projection (approaching 1.6200 now) exceeded at this stage.
Meanwhile, a break/close below 1.5500 would immediately expose the 1.5270 50% pullback - sometimes a good level in GBP-related markets. However, the power should be there to push lower shorter term, with a 1.5100 Fibo projection next on the list.
