Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.2659; (P) 1.2701; (R1) 1.2734; More….
GBP/USD edges higher after drawing support from 4 hour 55 EMA. But over all outlook is unchanged. Recovery from 1.2559 is seen as a correction. Upside should be limited by 1.2865 support turned resistance to bring fall resumption. On the downside, break of 1.2559 will extend the decline from 1.3381 for 1.2391 low first. However, sustained break of 1.2865 will indicate completion of fall from 1.3381. In that case, corrective pattern from 1.2391 would be in another rising leg through 1.3381 resistance.
In the bigger picture, medium term decline from 1.4376 (2018 high) is possibly ready to resume. Decisive break of 1.2391 would target a test on 1.1946 long term bottom (2016 low). For now, we don’t expect a firm break there yet. Hence focus will be on bottoming signal as it approaches 1.1946. In any case, medium term outlook will stay bearish as long as 1.3381 resistance holds, in case of strong rebound.
