British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) falls below key support level GBP/USD has managed to break below the $1.3098 support level, bringing about expectation of further downside from here.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) turning lower after failed attempt to break resistance GBP/USD has failed to rally through the $1.3258 swing high, raising doubts about the longevity of this rebound. The direction for this pair will be determined by a break through $1.3258 or $1.3098. A drop below that $1.3098 low points towards a potential wider […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) still on the up Despite the mixed signals on Brexit, GBP/USD has rallied once again. Fresh gains target $1.3250, and then on to the September high at $1.33.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) lifted by Brexit hopes GBP/USD continues to see gains, with intraday weakness still finding buyers. The next stop is the $1.33 area, while dips below $1.317 would potentially suggest that indecision is setting in ahead of the weekend. Overall, the bias in prices is: Sideways. By the way, prices are vulnerable to […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) buoyed by Brexit hopes GBP/USD has climbed steadily since the low last week, and since then each intraday sell-off has been met by buying.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) pulling back after recent ascent GBP/USD has been an outperformer of late, with yesterday proving no different.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) still on the up despite weakness While the price has dropped back from yesterday’s highs, the powerful rebound from $1.304 suggests the move higher will resume soon for GBP/USD. Above $1.314, the price will head towards $1.32 and then the highs of September above $1.33. A close below $1.304 is needed to […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) rallies through key resistance Hopes of a Brexit breakthrough have helped push GBP/USD through the crucial $1.3118 level.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) on a downward path GBP/USD lost the rising trendline that had held since mid-August, continuing its decline from $1.33. Further losses will target $1.2940, the low from Tuesday, and then below this, $1.2773. A recovery above $1.3121 would be needed to suggest that the buyers are back in charge. Overall, the bias […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) continues downturn GBP/USD has dropped into a near three-week low, with the pair looking set for further downside from here. The downtrend seen since the $1.3298 peak is likely to persist, even if we are looking at a retracement. We would need to see a break through $1.3117 to pave the way […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) turning higher after recent decline GBP/USD has seen a sharp decline below $1.3055 over the past week, with the price creating a new lower low after the recent 61.8% upside retracement.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) remains in an uptrend GBP/USD recovered from Friday’s slump, creating a higher low as it held above $1.3040 support. Further gains target $1.3204 and then $1.33. A drop below $1.3040 would suggest a move back towards rising support, around $1.2990. An ongoing failure to break $1.33 raises the prospect of a continuation […]
British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) instigates fight back after recent decline GBP/USD dropped out of its recent uptrend, with the break below $1.3097 pointing towards further losses to come.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) faces key resistance The uptrend continues for GBP/USD, but so far this week gains above $1.3170 have proved fleeting.

British Pound: USD/GBP (GBP=X) headed lower once more Another Brexit-related spike on Friday was swiftly defeated, and the GBP/USD price has headed back to $1.29. Below this, $1.2773 and then $1.2635 come into play. A close above $1.3040 is needed to create a more bullish impression. Overall, the bias in prices is: Sideways. The projected upper bound […]
