GBPUSD TECHS: Bearish Cycle Intact

GBPUSD TECHS
  • RES 4: 1.3434 High Sep 26 and key resistance 
  • RES 3: 1.3389 High Oct 1 
  • RES 2: 1.3305 High Oct 2  and the bull trigger
  • RES 1: 1.3193 20-day EMA
  • PRICE: 1.3076 @ 07:43 BST Oct 10
  • SUP 1: 1.3056 Low Oct 09
  • SUP 2: 1.3049 50.0% retracement of the Aug 8 - Sep 25 bull leg 
  • SUP 3: 1.3002 Low Sep 11 
  • SUP 4: 1.2959 61.8% retracement of the Aug 8 - Sep 25 bull leg

GBPUSD maintains a softer short-term tone following last week’s sell-off, and the pair continues to trade at its lows. Cable has breached support at the 20-day EMA and pierced the 50-day EMA at 1.3110. A clear break of this average would strengthen a bearish threat and open 1.3049, a Fibonacci retracement. Clearance of this level would expose 1.3002, the Sep 11 low.  Initial resistance to watch is 1.3193, the 20-day EMA.
