Current level - 1.6509


The British pound made a strong push against the weak dollar by breaking the highest level since the end of May and closing just below that level.

Although a short correction is possible after the recent rally, we expect another break above the 1.6550 resistance, which would open way towards the April highs at 1.6745.

Holding above 1.6250 affirmed the support level. In case of a move below, we expect the 200-day SMA, which is currently projected close to 1.6100, to act as the next support. In the longer-run 1.6000 remains as the key threshold for the pair.

Current level - 1.6486

The British pound took advantage of the dollar weakness rising close to this month’s high at 1.6477 but could not break the level, so that we can expect further resistance at that price. Although GBP/USD is being traded in a range for the last couple of weeks, now the pair is situated well above the 50-day SMA, projected at 1.6204.

There seems to be a short-term support at 1.6250, so going back below that level is likely to trigger further losses for the pound. The 200-day SMA is currently projected close to 1.6095 and we expect to see support there as well, but in the longer-run 1.6000 remains as the key threshold for the pair.

Today we can expect a test of the trend line and the resistance zone at 1.6590 and if the pound is not able to stay above that line it will test the 1.6420 and 1.6350 zone.

Current level - 1.4372


Due to the low liquidity, typical for August, the pair is still in the broad consolidation pattern between 1.4580 and 1.4050. On the larger frames there is still no sign of a trend dynamics and the situation remains neutral until big players roll in.

Current rise from 1.4260 low is absolutely intact and with the reliable intraday static support at 1.4344 the bias is positive for a break beyond 1.4394, towards 1.4510. The resistance area around 1.4550-4580 is likely to continue to hold for a reversal towards 1.4260.

Yesterday's break below 1.4390 crucial area cleared the way for a slide to 1.4327 low and although current rebound is larger than usual, my outlook is rather negative, for one more sell-off towards 1.4260. The intraday bias is positive with an initial support at 1.4418 and crucial area at 1.4390.

Current level - 1.3597


The pair is in a broad consolidation pattern below 1.4580 resistance area and current sell-off from 1.4550 is expected to be the final slide to complete that pattern. Technical indicators on the larger frames are neutral and trading is situated between the 50 and 200 daily SMAs, currently projected at 1.4301 and 1.4020.

The impulsive sell-off from 1.4082 broke below previous minimum at 1.3838 and bottomed few pips above the major support area around 1.3440. I believe, that current low at 1.3495 sets the beginning of a larger rebound towards 1.3721, en route to 1.3840 resistance zone. The intraday bias is positive for 1.3721 with a crucial level at 1.3534.

Technical indicators on the larger frames are neutral and trading is situated below the 50 and 200 daily SMAs, currently projected at 1.4301 and 1.4020.

The corrective rebound above 1.3490 is loosing strength and is probably close to completion, which will clear the road for a sell-off towards 1.3240 and 1.2870. The intraday bias is still positive, but a break below 1.3555 support will set the focus at 1.3240. Major resistance on the upside remains 1.3840-60.
