Pair's Outlook
After 1.61 played an important role in evolution of the GBP/USD in September, it is now acting as a ceiling for the price. But if the bulls do not give in and continue to push the rate higher, the next potential reversal point will be only 100 pips higher—at 1.62. The resistance there should be enough to reignite selling, as it is implied by a cluster of studies: the three-month falling trend-line, weekly R1 and 20-day SMA.
