GBP/USD Intraday Technical Analysis

The spot rate bounced off to the intermediate support of its medium term bullish channel at 1.5680 and is testing now the upper limit of this one at 1.5810 suggesting a decline. However, a break of these levels will release a good potential and initiate a more violent bullish channel.
Technical indicators provide sell signal and approaching overbuy zone supporting a decline and until the resistance is not broken the assumption of a decline is most likely. Bollinger bands are much discarded as a result of a strong increase these days. Stabilization is expected in a short term. Furthermore the upper band strengthens the upper limit of its channel supporting the hypothesis of a violent movement in case of failure.
As the spot rate tests its resistance, we recommend 2 scenarios: the first one is the hypothesis of a decline where we suggest a sell on the level of 1.5810 with the 1st objective at 1.5750 and then at 1.5730. A breakthrough 1.5830 will invalidate this scenario. The second scenario is the hypothesis of a break of its resistance where we advise a “buy stop”. We recommend to buy the spot rate as soon as it is broken through its resistance of 1.5810 with the 1st objective at 1.5870 and then at 1.5890. A breakthrough 1.5790 will invalidate this scenario.
