GBP
A look at long-term Sterling charts, reveal some interesting price and trend features that may play a role in assessing price action over the medium-term.
- Cable is trading close to a trendline resistance drawn off the 2007 high that intersects at 1.3421. If the trendline is breached, it would certainly be a bullish development. However it would also be important to assess whether the break higher is down to USD weakness and/or Sterling strength to gauge the medium and even longer-term implications of a break. Cable is trading at 1.3221.
- A reversal lower with the trendline intact, would be a bearish outcome.
- The EURGBP chart is perhaps a concern for Sterling bulls. Looking at the bearish Sterling phases between 1981 - 1995 and 2000 - 2008, we note that the cross depreciated 72% on both occasions. Attention is on the current bear phase since the Jul 2015 low.
- A 72% depreciation would imply a move towards 1.2000. A break above the 2008 highs, if seen, would certainly highlight this potential risk. So, will history repeat itself?
