Talking Points:

  • GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Flat

  • Support: 1.4825, 1.4706, 1.4597

  • Resistance: 1.4984, 1.5093, 1.5201

The British Pound continues to consolidate after recoiling from range resistance below the 1.50 figure against the US Dollar. A daily close below pivot support at 1.4825 exposes the 50% Fibonacci expansionat 1.4706. Alternatively, a reversal above the 1.4950-84 area (January 23 low, 38.2% Fib retracement)clears the way for a test ofthe 50% level at 1.5093.

An actionable trade setup is absent at this point, arguing against committing to a directional bias on long or short side. We will continue to stand aside for now, waiting for a clear-cut trading opportunity to present itself in the days ahead.
