The GBP/USD pair seems to be trading in what is probably a broadening formation. Currently it is trading at the 1.5570 lows of the pattern after a strong move down. It has started to bounce up and the most probable scenario is that we will now see a move back up to 1.5725 range highs. Alternatively, decisive break below 1.5525 would lead to a break-down out of the pattern and probably fall till support from the 50-day MA at 1.5400.

GBP/USD\n\nCrossing the trend line of the rising channel (blue lines) signaled high probability of a large-scale correction to the recent growth. The price has broken the support at 1.5620/30, whish underlined the strength of the bearish trend. However, after testing the strength of the support at 1.5570/80, the pair pulled back above 1.5620/30, and is now trying to break this level again. The indicators show increasing bearish sentiment. This supposes that the pair is expected to break the tested level and then fall to 1.5570/80. At the same time, this increases the risks of a fall to 1.5480/90. Should the move down cause upcoming fall to 1.5370/80, we can expect a reversal to a medium-term bearish trend. However, today’s decisions on the Fed’s monetary policy can become a constraining factor to the market activity. If anyone want to manage account $kype us - theoneforex
