FX.co ★ Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations on GBP/USD for September 5, 2014

Breakdown of the DEMAND level around 1.6975 allowed a quick decline of the GBP/USD pair initially towards the price zone of 1.6800-1.6820.

While retesting the price zone of 1.6800-1.6820, a bullish pause occurred meanwhile. This corrective movement was stopped below 1.6880 when bears applied considerable bearish pressure.

Through the previous two weeks, the GBP/USD pair established a congestion zone between the price levels of 1.6660 and 1.6550 when bullish breakout was considered last week. However, extensive bearish pressure was manifested this week leading towards 1.6280 (the current daily low).

On the other hand, the current DEMAND level to meet the pair is located around 1.6300 where the lower limit of the ongoing channel is roughly located. 

As depicted on the chart, bearish breakout off the previous congestion zone 1.6530-1.6595 took place. Shortly after, projection target was reached around 1.6460.

The GBP/USD pair has been downtrending for almost 25 days. However, evident bearish momentum keeps pushing lower without significant bullish correction.

Price action should be watched carefully at retesting the price level of 1.6300. It's the current SUPPLY level to meet the pair as it corresponds to the lower limit of the depicted channel.

There will be a high incidence of bullish reversal.

Any bullish fixation above 1.6360 hinders the current steep down-trend allowing a bullish corrective move to take place towards 1.6440 initially.
