Key Quotes
“The GBP/USD pair ended lower on Friday at 1.5236 after having failed to extend gains above the 10-week SMA.”
“A weak attempt to take back losses was made in the Asian session today, although gains were capped at 1.5268 levels.”
“Meanwhile, the hourly chart shows, the pair is struggling to sustain above the 23.6% retracement level on the hourly chart located at 1.5259 levels.”
“The hourly RSI, at 45.26, is pointing to a further downside in the pair. Thus, the pair is more likely to test the 1.5221 levels; which is the neckline support of the inverted head and shoulder formation.”
“A break below 1.5221 shall open doors for a inverted head and shoulder target of 1.51 levels.”
