On the intraday scale the price zone of 1.5420 – 1.5450 corresponds to the lower limit of the long-term channel which constitutes a very strong support zone and is likely to push the GBP/USD pair to the upside to 1.5580 and then to 1.5645 with SL located below 1.5400.
A short-term Head & Shoulders reversal pattern was expressed yesterday at the key-zone of 1.5460 – 1.5520 which was confirmed yesterday. However, GBP/USD failed to make higher highs. Instead, it’s building a bearish pressure over the support level of 1.5450.
