Trading recommendation

:

GBP traded according to my yesterday's game plan. GBP did almost tested our first target at the price of 1.2565. Anyway, I still see strong downside pressure and potential of downward targets at 1.2565 and 1.2515.

Green rectangle – Support (1.2565)

Blue rectangle- Support 2 (1.2515)

Yellow rectangle – Intraday resistance (1.2630)

MACD oscillator is showing the new momentum low in the background and the GBP is trading in the negative territory, which confirms my bearish view. Stochastic oscillator is in oversold zone together with the RSI oscillator, which is sign that we can see rally before new wave down. The level of 1.2600 is round number and potential good zone for selling, so pay attention to that level. As long as the GBP is trading below the 1.2665, I would watch for selling opportunities.
