GBPUSD Daily Forecast: October 05

The GBPUSD also had indecisive movement on Friday. The pair attempted to push lower, bottomed at 1.5808 but whipsawed to the upside and closed higher at 1.5944. On h4 chart below we can see that after break below the trendline support (orange, now become resistance) and bottomed at 1.5805 price retreated higher back at the trendline. I think this is a normal movement and as long as price stay below the trendline and 1.6000 area, I prefer a downside scenario. However break above the trendline and consistent move above 1.6000 area should trigger further bullish momentum re-testing 1.6113 area. Immediate support at 1.5905. Break below that area should trigger further bearish momentum.

GBPUSD Daily Forecast: September 18

The GBPUSD attempted to push higher yesterday, topped at 1.6567 but failed to break above my 1.6580 resistance area before whipsawed to the downside, bottomed at 1.6425 and closed at 1.6446. On h4 chart below we can see that the upper line of the bearish channel did a good job keeping the bearish scenario intact. The bias is bearish in nearest term targeting 1.6350 area (50% Fibo of 1.6113 – 1.6740) and the lower line of the bearish channel. CCI just cross the -100 line down on h4 chart suggesting potential further weakness for the Sterling. Immediate resistance at 1.6480 – 1.6500 area. Break above that area should lead us into no trading zone.

GBPUSD Daily Forecast: September 17

The GBPUSD made indecisive movement yesterday, formed a Doji on daily chart. On h4 chart below we can see that the pair still trapped between 38.2% – 50% Fibo retracement of 1.6113 – 1.6740. The bias remains neutral in nearest term and I think we are still in no trading zone now. Be patient and do not rush jump into the market. The key levels at this phase is 1.6400 support and 1.6580 resistance. Break below 1.6400 should trigger further bearish momentum towards 1.6200 while break above 1.6580 should trigger further bullish momentum re-testing 1.6740 area.

GBPUSD Daily Forecast: September 16

The GBPUSD made another bearish momentum yesterday, bottomed at 1.6401 but closed higher at 1.6485. On h4 chart below we can see that the bullish channel has been convincingly violated to the downside indicating bullish failure. Price break below 1.6500 area (38.2% Fibo retracement of 1.6113 – 1.6740), slipped below the 50% Fibo but pullback to the upside and now struggling around 38.2% Fibo area around 1.6500. The bias is neutral in nearest term but I prefer a downside scenario testing 1.6353 area (61.8% Fibo). Immediate resistance at 1.6530. Break above that area should lead us into no trading zone.

GBPUSD Daily Forecast: September 15

The hanging man formation gave us a valid warning of a bearish correction yesterday. The pair bottomed at 1.6520 and closed at 1.6576. On h4 chart below we can see that the bearish momentum can not really made a violation to the bullish channel yet as the price still struggling around the bullish channel lower line. The bullish scenario remains intact and I still prefer an upside scenario, but I think it’s better to keep out from the market now. Immediate resistance at 1.6655 area. Break above that area should trigger further bullish momentum re-testing 1.6740 area. Initial support at 1.6500. Valid break below that area should be seen as potential bullish failure.

On daily chart below we can see that the pair still moving in a bullish channel but price retreat lower around the upper line of the bullish channel. I think the pair is in potential downside correction phase, testing 1.4446 support area. Break below that area should trigger further downside correction towards the bullish channel lower line. Only a violation the the bullish channel should be seen as bullish failure. Immediate resistance at 1.4633 area (Friday’s high).

On h1 chart below we have a hammer formation after some bullish momentum, so watch out for potential bullish correction testing 90.70 – 91.15 resistance area. Break above that area should trigger further bullish correction testing 91.80. As long as the pair stay below that area, I still prefer bearish scenario. Immediate support at 90.20. (Friday’s low). Break below that area should trigger further bearish continuation towards 89.70 area.

EURUSD Outlook
The EURUSD made indecisive movement yesterday. The pair attempted to make higher correction, topped at 1.2992 but closed lower at 1.2945. From the bearish scenario point of view since the downside momentum from 1.3734, as long as the pair stay below 1.3100, any upside corrective movement is “normal”. The bias is neutral in nearest term and I think we are now in no trading zone. On daily chart we had symmetrical triangle formation indicating a consolidation.
