Weekly technical levels of GBP/USD for August 18-22, 2014

Weekly technical levels of the GBP/USD pair.

Review:

The key level will set at the level of 1.6725. Also, it should be noted that the level of 1.6725 represents the weekly pivot point. The support of the GBP/USD pair has already set at 1.6622. Moreover, the weekly support 1 will set at the same level. If the trend fails to close below the level of 1.6622, it will be a good opportunity to buy above 1.6650 with the first target at 1.6722, then it will be continued straight towards 1.6793 in the coming days. The price of 1.6793 represents the weekly resistance 1 and 1.6828 is going to form a double top in H1 chart. So, we expect a new range about 160 - 180 pips this week.

Observations:

If the trend is upward, then the strength of the currency will be defined as follows: GBP is in an uptrend and USD is in a downtrend. Fibonacci retracement is used to determine accurate psychological levels of support and resistance. The period of time should be taken into account. Fibonacci is in a range trade; it looks like the trend is trapped and going up or down. If you sell or buy in the long term, you will surely lose your profit. It should be noted that if there is no significant news to influence, the market price will be moving from pivot point to resistance 1 or support 1. But if there is significant news to influence, the market price may go straight through resistance 1 or support 1 and reach resistance 2 or support 2 and even resistance 3 or support 3.
