GBP/USD Daily Chart –.)
The GBP/USD daily chart above shows a slightly different picture. The pair has essentially been trading in a wide range of approximately 700 pips since November of 2006. For a while, this pair has remained somewhat of a goldmine for diehard range traders, as there have been many potentially lucrative range trading opportunities on Cable since mid-2006.
Currently, we also sit at a confluence of support factors for the GBP/USD, albeit not as extensive as on the previously discussed EUR/USD
The strongest visual support level occurs at the middle yellow horizontal line, around the 1.9150 level, which previously acted as resistance and now serves as stable support. Coupled with this is the 50% Fibonacci level (when measured from the trough on 10/11/2006 to the peak that was hit on 12/01/2006 and re-tested on 1/23/2007), which corresponds very closely with this middle yellow support line. As with the EUR/USD, the GBP/USD also hit this support region on Monday 3/05/2007, and then turned back up on a dime the next day.
Along with these two significant support factors, we have very strong support just below on the long-term uptrend line, represented by the lowest green uptrend line. A breakdown below this level would require highly decisive price action, which may be exploited as a potential breakout trade. Further short-term support can be found at the 61.8% Fib level around 1.9020.
On the upside, short-term resistance resides at the red downtrend line, and then, beyond that, at the middle green trend line. Ultimate resistance lies at the previously double-tested highs around 1.9850.
Finally, Slow Stochastics is turning up from oversold, which hints at what may be a further up-move.
Once again, Friday’s NFP will lend more clarity to how the technicals will play out on Cable.
