GBP/USD dipped to 1.3011 last week but quickly recovered. Initial bias is turned neutral this week first and overall outlook is unchanged. Price actions from 1.2661 are seen as a corrective move. In case of another rise, upside should be limited by 1.3316 key fibonacci level to bring down trend resumption eventually. On the downside, below 1.3011 will target 1.2921 support first. Break will target 1.2661/2784 support zone. However, sustained break of 1.3316 would pave the way to next fibonacci level at 1.3721.
In the bigger picture, whole medium term rebound from 1.1946 (2016 low) should have completed at 1.4376 already, after rejection from 55 month EMA. The structure and momentum of the fall from 1.4376 argues that it’s resuming long term down trend. And this will be the preferred case as long as 38.2% retracement of 1.4376 to 1.2661 at 1.3316 holds. However, firm break of 1.3316 would bring stronger rebound to 61.8% retracement at 1.3721. And, the eventual depth of the fall from 1.4376, and the chance of hitting 1.1946 low, will depend on the strength of the interim corrective rebound from 1.2661.
In the longer term picture, outlook in GBP/USD is held bearish. Rebound from 1.1946 was rejected solidly by falling 55 month EMA. The pair was limited well below 38.2% retracement of 2.1161 (2007 high) to 1.1946, as well as the decade long falling trend line. On break of 1.1946, next target will be 61.8% projection of 1.7190 to 1.1946 from 1.4376 at 1.1135.
