Talking Points:

GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
Support: 1.5991 1.5873. 1.5680
Resistance: 1.6184 1.6377 1.6532

The British Pound advanced as expected against the US Dollar after prices put in a bullish Piercing Line candlestick pattern. Near-term resistance is now at 1.6184 the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement with a break above that on a daily closing basis exposing the 38.2% level at 1.6377. Alternatively a reversal below the 14.6% Fib expansion at 1.5991opens the door for a test of the 1.5873-93 area marked by the October 2013 low and the 23.6% threshold.

A bullish Head and Shoulders bottom chart formation may be in the works but confirmation is needed on a daily close above 1.6184 (the would-be pattern’s neckline) to make for an actionable setup. As such we will continue to stand aside for the time being.
