Key levels tested as GBPUSD continues its downward move

  • Testing the 1.27974 (call it 1.2800) area
GBPUSD falls to trendline support

In a previous post on the GBPUSD, we discussed the breaking of the converged 100/200 moving averages and the swing area down to 1.24208 in GBPUSD . A further decline would target the upward sloping trendline and Wednesday's low near 1.23974. Currently, the pair is testing this low and the trendline, with the recent low reaching 1.23985. There is a pause in the downward momentum.

If buyers enter the market at this point, they would want to see the price move back above the 1.24208 level for reassurance. However, a break below 1.23974 would be disappointing and likely lead to further downside probing/selling. The next target area for the pair lies between 1.2343 and 1.2360.

Key barometer being tested. Will the support do its job and hold support now?

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...
