FX.co ★ GBP/USD Intraday Technical Analysis & Trade Recommendation December 27, 2011

Last Friday, GBP/USD had consolidation range between 1.5646 - 1.5725.

Our view for the pair is still bearish as we we had strong bearish reaction after hiting the resistance level at 1.5770 & the pair formed a Head & Shoulders reversal pattern manifested more clearly on the 1H chart.

Yesterday we suggested SELLING the pair at the resistance level 1.5646 which is the lower limit of the broken consolidation range at 1.5646 which is also the neckline of the confirmed Head & Shoulders reversal pattern.

It's important to notice that we have another intraday resistance level at 1.5665 which is being tested right now.

Today our suggested SHORT position was triggered short time ago with TP at 1.5605,1.5555 then 1.5505 & SL should be 4H closure above 1.5700.

The current price is appropriate for catching this trade with the same TP & SL.
