The pound dropped after testing 1.6346, which was expected, and helped us make some profit of the sell signal. However, in spite of reaching a 1.6245 after the FED, the pound recovered to 1.6321 this morning. If this recovery from the “post-FED” low continues, it will be expected to retest 1.6346, and this time it might be able to test another, even more important level at 1.6388. This level is probably the most important resistance for today because it combines the falling trend line from July’s 6-year high, with the short term Marji 57.1% retracement. But in spite of the importance of this level, its break needs a confirmation in the form of breaking above 1.6416. The first target for this break is yet another important resistance level at 1.6473, and if the bulls manage to push past this level, reaching 1.6620 will not be a surprise!
On the support side, the rising trend line from September 10th bottom meets the micro term Fibonacci 38.2% retracement at 1.6239. This will be our first support for today. Only with a break below this level that the bullish scenario of testing 1.6388 will become unlikely. In this case, a drop towards 1.6302 should be expected, ahead of 1.6167 & the important 1.6138. this last level is the key to reaching new lows for this trend (below 1.6050), and in this case tour favorite target is 1.6001.
