After poking its head above key resistance in the 1.5 region, price action on GBP/USD, a daily chart of which is shown, has retreated significantly. At this juncture, the tentative break above 1.5 can be considered a false break, and the current directional bias appears bearish. Dynamic support to the downside resides around the bottom border of the short-term parallel uptrend channel, which currently resides around 1.4700. Further to the downside, the 1.4580 region also serves as strong support. To the upside, the 1.5 region should continue to serve as key resistance going forward.

i think its a ascending wedge which may cause the GBP/USD to fall lower, the volumes are also decreasing while moving ahead
Great analysis. It seems that the trend is still up. This week’s releases will shake the Pound…

what dou you think about the bearish divergence in daily macd histogramm?
do it have any importance in the analysis?
Hi Mauricio,
Thanks for your comment! Yes, MACD Histogram divergence certainly plays a role in the technicals. You are right, there is a clear case of divergence on the daily chart for this pair, which lends to a bearish confirmation. I primarily use divergence as a hint of a possible impending turn, and you have it right here on this chart. Thanks for your great input, Mauricio!

Hi,
Nice analysis. I’ve been looking at the MACD and the RSI. i’m not farmiliar with MACD but RSI is in the middle of the 4H chart. last two weeks i’ve predicted if GBP/USD will go in buy/sell and i was right. This week is confusing me. Can you shed some light for this week.
