GBP/USD likely direction

Key levels to watch for:
Support: 1.2408; 1.2252;
Resistance: 1.2672; 1.2775.

Pound/dollar had a bearish momentum yesterday, bottomed at 1.2465. The bias is bearish for now to test 1.2500 - 1.2465. Overall, however, the price is still in bullish phase after the bounce from 1.2000 psychological level and any downside pullback should be seen as a good opportunity for long positions with targets near 1.2790.

Pound/Dollar attempted to push lower yesterday, formed a bottom at 1.2346, but turned up and closed higher at 1.2507. The bias is neutral, possibly with slight bullish signals for testing 1.2600. Intraday support is at 1.2450, whose breakthrough could lead to downward pressure on testing 1.2400 - 1.2350. Overall I remain neutral.

The pound continued upwards momentum and managed to add another 31 pips against the dollar. The day was volatile. The price by opening of session was 1.2507, as in the morning had bottomed at a rate of 1.2474. There were four strong bullish hours and a high at 1.2549. Ultimately session ended in the red for the dollar at a price of 1.2538 dollars per pound.

Key levels to watch for:
Support: 1.2420; 1.2120;
Resistance: 1.2558; 1.2690.

The British pound fell against the dollar on Friday. By the closing of US trading GBP/USD was trading at 1.24849, shedding 0.06%. I believe that the support is now located at the level of 1.2344, Tuesday’s low, and resistance is likely at the level of 1.2585 - maximum of Thursday.

We have seen a Bullish Pin bar at Feb 07 from support 1.2415 (high of January 17), and I believe next Resistant is .26734 (the high of Nov11,2016)

Between President Trump’s “phenomenal” tax reform promise and much better-than-expected data from the UK last week, the pair bounced around 1.2500 level with downside seems limited to 1.2430.

Couldn’t agree more. But I would say to trade pound crosses (with majors) like GBPCHF, GBPJPY .

and my most favorite is EURGBP since few weeks. I am running 2 short positions (4% risk 10% probable gain)

Next week there will be FOMC minutes, so pound may continue falling to 1.2346, followed by 1.2252.

1.2346 is level to confirm new bearish trend towards 1.2300 level.
