FX.co ★ GBP/USD Megaphone Pattern January 06, 2011 (Daily Strategy)

GBP/USD

The movement of the GBP/USD pair in the last few days had created a megaphone pattern, blocking off the price from both sides, and yet expanding. The obvious negative deviation that has been accompanying the pattern since its formation hints at a downwards breach of the pattern in the near future.

It is important to pay attention to the meaningful support level around 1.5385, which forms a combination between the Fibonacci support level and the 200-day moving average on the pair. Another breach of this level will serve as an important indication of continued downwards movement, towards the low support level of 1.5080 United States dollars for one British pound.
