4-hour timeframe
Overview:
Another correction has (rather unexpectedly) started on the pound. The sell signal with a target level of 1.5173 is presented. The current signal is strong and confirmed as the price managed to fixate below the Ichimoku Cloud and the Chinkou Span fixed below the price curve. It is recommended to start trading only after the correction movement ends. The first target of the downside movement is 1.5355 – the first support level. In case the first support level is passed the next target will be the second support level of 1.5176. The downwards motion will be presented until the price is below the Kijun-Sen (1.5614), but if the price strengthens above this line, then it is recommended to cut short positions. The Chinkou Span is below the price graph, thus confirming the current sell signal and bullish sentiment on the market. The Bollinger Bands indicate the downtrend, the lines are converging and directed down, thus pointing to current correction. The MACD is ascending, thus indicating the correction movement.
Trading recommendations:
Currently it is recommended to trade down with the target to 1.5355 and further to 1.5176. Stop Loss is placed above 1.5614. We enter the market and open short positions only after the MACD reverses down.
In addition to technical image, one should take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
