Technical Outlook GBPUSD 25.07.2017
GBPUSD remains capped at 1.3050 but 1.3000 pivot stays intact for now
GBPUSD
Cable stands at the back foot in early Tuesday’s trading, following strong upside rejection at key near-term barrier at 1.3051 (Fibo 61.8% 1.3125/1.2932 pullback / 19 July high) on Monday (the price hit daily high at 1.3058 but closed at 1.3026).
Good offers lay at 1.3050 zone and keep near-term bias shifted lower for retest of strong support at 1.3000 (psychological level / hourly cloud top / rising daily Tenkan-sen).
Bullish daily studies favor further upside, with 1.3000 handle required to hold dips and sustained break above 1.3051 needed to re-focus targets at 1.3100/25, as weaker dollar supports pound’s bulls.
Return below 1.3000 (also trendline support) and extension below 1.2980 (base of thick 4-hr cloud) would weaken near-term tone and risk return to key near-term support at 1.2931 (20 July correction low / Fibo 61.8% of 1.2811/1.3125 rally).
Res: 1.3051; 1.3080; 1.3100; 1.3125
