Strategy of the day on GBP/USD

The spot rate is currently testing the intermediate support of its medium-term bearish channel at 1.4950 suggesting a rebound. However, a break of these levels will free a large potential and reach the lower limit of its channel at 1.4890.

Technical indicators provide sell signals but, until the support is not broken, the assumption of a rebound is most likely. Bollinger bands are much discarded as a result of a strong decline these days. Stabilization is expected in a short term.

The spot rate is currently testing the intermediate support of its channel, so we suggest 2 scenarios: the first one is the hypothesis of a rebound, then we recommend a buy on the level of 1.4950 with the 1st objective at 1.5010 and then at 1.5030. A break through 1.4930 will invalidate this scenario. The second scenario is a break of its support, then we recommend a sell stop, which means to sell the spot rate as soon as it has broken through its support of 1.4950 with the 1st objective at 1.4890 and then at 1.4870. A break through 1.4970 will invalidate this scenario.
