GBPUSD trade between its 100 and 200 hour moving averages

The GBPUSD has seen momentum dip to the downside in early New York trading, helped by the break through the 100 hour moving average. That moving average currently comes in at 1.26055. The level represents a risk defining level for sellers who are looking for more downside in the short-term. Stay below keeps the sellers happy.

Having said that, the run to the downside stalled right at its 200 hour moving average currently at 1.25591 (and moving higher). Holding that level gives those traders who are more bullish some comfort.

So there is a little something for both buyers and sellers from a technical perspective today. Traders who like the upside can lean against the 200 hour moving average at 1.2559 as a risk defining level. A move below would be needed to increase the bearish bias.

Conversely, sellers who think the run to the upside has run its course in the GBPUSD, could use the 100 hour moving average as resistance and a risk defining level. Stay below is more bearish.

Which way do you like?

The moving averages will help define the next momentum bias, but for now, the buyers and sellers are battling it out between the levels.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
