GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Short at 1.6233

Support: 1.6088 1.5954 1.5819
-
Resistance: 1.6255 1.6340 1.6486
The British Pound appears to have resumed its descent against the US Dollar after a brief correction higher from September’s lows. Near-term support is at 1.6088 the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion with a break below that on a daily closing basis exposing the 50% level at 1.5954. Alternatively a reversal back above the 23.6% Fib at 1.6255 clears the way for a challenge of falling trend line resistance at 1.6340.
Positioning appears attractive from a technical and a risk/reward perspective and we will now enter short GBPUSD initially targeting 1.6088. A stop-loss will be activated on a daily close above 1.6388. We will take profit on half of the position and move the stop-loss to breakeven once the first objective is reached.
