FX.co ★ GBPUSD in a sideways trading range

GBPUSD is mostly moving sideways in a trading range between 1.2740 and 1.2940. Price is most probably forming a bullish flag pattern after the big rally from 1.22 in early October, to 1.2950-1.30.

Our expectation is for GBPUSD to move lower towards the 38% Fibonacci retracement level before resuming its up trend. Price is range trading and I expect another leg higher above 1.30 to start over the next few weeks. Support is at 1.27 and resistance at 1.29. Breaking above 1.29 will increase dramatically the chances of a move above 1.31.
