GBP/USD intraday technical analysis for May 21, 2013

Overview:

According to previous events, the price has still been trapped between 1.5280 and 1.5215, so it is wise to be careful in this range area around the level 38.2% of Fibonacci retracement levels and 00% (it will form a double bottom). Therefore, the first step is to wait for a period of tight sideway range market before breakouts. Probably the market is going to start showing bullish signs. In other words, it will be a good sign to buy above the support 1 (1.5090) with the first target of 1.5263 and it will climb towards the first resistance at 1.5315. However, if the pair could not break this resistance, hence the market will indicate a bearish opportunity below 1.5315 (it should be noted that the 38.2% of Fibonacci retracement level is 1.5328). Then the level is going to act as strong resistance. It will be a good sign to sell below 1.5240 with the first target of 1.5180 and it is going to call for downtrend in order to continue a bearish move towards 1.5157 in order to form a double bottom.
