Resistance: 1.6184 1.6377 1.6532
The British Pound pushed upward against the US Dollar as expected after the appearance of a bullish Piercing Line candlestick pattern. A daily close above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracementat 1.6184 exposes the 38.2% level at 1.6377. Alternatively a turn below the intersection of rising wedge top resistance-turned-support and the 14.6% Fib at 1.6066 clears the way for a challenge of 1.5893 the October 2013 low.
While a long position is tempting from a purely we will tactically opt to stand aside. The Pound faces the release of minutes from this month’s BOE policy meeting injecting a degree of event risk into the equation. With that in mind we will wait to see how positioning evolves in the hours ahead before committing to a trade.
