Pound hits its highest since Brexit, by being overbought territory might cause the pair lose its upward strength and lead to possible correction movement. But there is still higher high on the table, buying interest remains strong.

With US government shutdown and French President Emmanuel Macron suggested the UK might get the special solution put Pounds bullish trend remains intact. 1.3900 act as a crucial resistance level, break above would clear the way to the upside.

Cable cracked 1.40, but consolidation is expected before next upleg, according to indicators on the H4 which are yet located within positive territory, but are losing upward strength.

Anyone have a guess as to when the reversal will appear and how deep it will go? My short position is starting to feel awfully burdensome.

The pound recorded a neutral session against the dollar on Tuesday. Although early bearish sentiment prevailed, the opening price was close to that of closing - 1.3983 and 1.3996. The difference between the highest and lowest values ??for the day was not 111 pips. Short-term expectations remain in favor of the British currency.

Key levels to watch for:

Support: 1.3737; 1.3522;
Resistance: 1.4034; 1.4164;

Elliott Wave Analysis: GBPUSD ended wave (4) correction

GBPUSD Short Term Elliott Wave view suggests that pair ended Intermediate wave (2) at 1.33 on 16 December 2017. Up from there, Intermediate wave (3) rally is unfolding as 5 waves impulse Elliott Wave structure where Minor wave 1 ended at 1.3613, Minor wave 2 ended at 1.3456, Minor wave 3 ended at 1.3943, Minor wave 4 ended at 1.3797, and Minor wave 5 of (3) ended at 1.434.

Pullback to 1.4084 today is proposed to have ended Intermediate wave (4) at 1.4084, but pair still needs to break above Intermediate wave (3) at 1.434 to confirm this view. Until then, a double correction in Intermediate wave (4) still can’t be ruled out. Near term, while pullbacks stay above 1.4084, but more importantly as far as pivot at 16 December 2017 low (1.33) stays intact, expect pair to extend higher. We don’t like selling the pair.

So what you’re saying is that it’s going to go up, unless of course it’s going to go down, and we won’t know which until we see which way it goes?

Well, that’s in accordance with most of the other Elliot Wave based forecasts I’ve ever seen in my life.

(That is, of course, apart from the ones that say it’s going to go down, unless of course it’s going to go up, and we won’t know which until we see which way it goes.)

If it’s not a rude question, what do you get out of posting this stuff here?
