GBP/USD Analysis
Nothing important happened over the Easter holiday and no crucial support or resistance has been tested or formed since my previous analysis last Thursday.
There is every sign that a bullish bias is the correct bias to take. We are still in the bullish channel and we have only been forming crucial support levels rather than crucial resistance. A candlestick analysis on all the higher time frames shows bullishness.
There is flipped resistance about 70 pips below us at 1.6753 which is quite likely to act as good support, and as there is not much news today I am prepared to go long there at a first touch during today’s London session.
Above us there is old flipped resistance from 2009 at 1.6884 that if confirmed by bearish price action might provide a conservative short.
My colleague Christopher Lewis is as bullish as me on this pair but I see crucial support as kicking in some way above his “floor” of 1.6500
There are no high-impact news releases due today concerning the GBP. At 3pm London time there is a release of US Existing Homes Sales data. It is likely to be a fairly quiet day.
