FX.co ★ GBP/USD Intraday Technical Analysis and Trading Recommendations for July 19, 2012

After having brief consolidation during this week around price levels of 1.5667-1.5575, the GBP/USD pair managed to break through the upper limit of the bearish channel depicted on the chart thus confirming the Flag Continuation pattern initiated around price level 1.5266 since 1st of June.
As we see on the 4H chart, GBP/USD managed to do so after finding bullish rejection towards 50% of Fibonacci level which gathered bullish strength and enabled the pair to break through the upper limit of the depicted channel.
Now the backside of the upper limit of the broken channel is expected to act as a strong support for GBP/USD around price level 1.5625 which constitutes a valid BUY entry for the pair.
Target levels for this Flag continuation pattern are located around 1.5700, 1.5760 then 1.5840 while SL is to be 4H closure below 1.5580.
