The weekly technical levels of GBP/USD pair.
Trading recommendations:
- According to the previous events, the price of the GBP/USD pair has still been trapped between the levels of 1.6630 and 1.6582.
- When buying above 1.6582 (the weekly pivot point) with the first target of 1.6628 (resistance 1), it can resume to 1.6658 to test the weekly resistance 2.
- Below the level of 1.6660 (161.8% of Fibonacci retracement levels) look for further downside with 1.6634 and 1.6582 targets.
Idea about resistance and support:
- R3 and S3 are considered to be clear indicators of the maximum range of extreme volatility, though it is possible to pass them through. Pivot lines work well on the sideways markets as prices are most likely to be located between the R1 and S1 lines. Within a strong trend, the price is expected to be lower than the pivot point line and continue moving. If the breaking news released may affect the market, the price is likely to go straight through R1 or S1 and even reach R2 and R3 or S2 and S3.
Observations:
- If the trend is upward, then the strength of the currency pair will be defined as following: GBP is in an uptrend and USD is in a downtrend.
- Fibonacci retracement is used to determine accurate psychological levels of support and resistance. The period of time should be taken into account. Fibonacci is in a trading range; it looks like the trend is trapped and going up and down. If you sell or buy in the long term in this period, you will surely lose your profit.
