FX.co ★ Technical analysis of GBP/USD for February 12, 2018

Overview:

• The GBP/USD pair continues to move downwards from the level of 1.4021. Last week, the pair dropped from the level of 1.4021 to the bottom around 1.3764. But the pair rebounded from the bottom of 1.3764 to close at 1.3860. Today, the first support level is seen at 1.3825, the price is moving in a bearish channel now. Furthermore, the price has been set below the strong resistance at the level of 1.3960, which coincides with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. This resistance has been rejected several times confirming the veracity of a downtrend. Additionally, the RSI starts signaling a downward trend. As a result, if the GBP/USD pair is able to break out the first support at 1.3825, the market will decline further to 1.3764 in order to test the weekly support 2. Consequently, the market is likely to show signs of a bearish trend. So, it will be good to sell below the level of 1.3885 with the first target at 1.3825 and further to 1.3764. However, stop loss is to be placed above the level of 1.3960.
