GBP/USD recovers after sharp drop

Source: Dukascopy Bank SA


On Friday, the GBP/USD reacted to the strengthening of the US Dollar, which was caused by the US monthly employment data release. The decline of the pair eventually found support in the 1.2548/1.2579 range and started a recovery. By mid-Monday, the rate had reached the combined resistance of the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages near 1.2650.

A move above the 1.2650 mark could encounter resistance in the upper trend line of the channel down pattern that captures the pair's recent decline. Higher above, note the weekly R1 simple pivot point at 1.2699 and the 1.2700 mark.

However, a potential bounce off from the resistance could result in the rate looking for support in the weekly simple pivot point at 1.2631 and the 1.2620 level. Further below, the 1.2548/1.2579 range might once again stop a decline.
