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.
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.
