GBP/USD Signal 01/10: Strong Buying Above $1.3413 (Chart)


(MENAFN- Daily Forex) My previous GBP/USD signal on 10th September produced a profitable long trade from the bullish bounce off the support level which I had identified at $1.3519, with a natural take profit signal from the bearish reversal at $1.3559.

The best method to identify a classic“price action reversal” is for an hourly candle to close, such as a pin bar , a doji, an outside or even just an engulfing candle with a higher close. You can exploit these levels or zones by watching the price action that occurs at the given levels/USD Analysis

I wrote in my previous GBP/USD forecast on 10th September that I was bullish and the big round number at $1.3500 or even $1.3519 would be pivotal – if the price kept above this area, I expected it to continue rising.

This was an accurate and profitable call, enabling a winning long trade to be taken with confidence.

More than three weeks later, and although the price is still within a similar area, the technical picture is again looking bullish. The price chart below shows strong buying above the $1.3400 area up to about $1.3440, and the price is rising from there and is already not far from the next area of resistance.

I expect higher prices, but the area between $1.3488 and $1.3500 might provide to be resistant today.

EURUSD Chart by TradingView

I would not want to take a short trade even if the $1.3500 area is pivotal. I think it will be best here to hope for another dip into the area below $1.3440 and then to enter a new long trade on any strong rebound, maybe starting the trade as a scalp.

There is nothing of high importance scheduled regarding the GBP today. Concerning the USD, there will be a release of the ADP Non-Farm Employment Forecast at 1:15pm London time, followed by ISM Manufacturing PMI at 3pm.
