GBP/USD candlestick analysis for May 27, 2011
The GBP/USD currency pair is bouncing off the Fibonacci correction level 50.0 and has closely approached the resistance level 1.6430. If it is broken, short positions should be closed.
Earlier the GBP/USD has successfully broken the support level at 1.6164. Nevertheless, the viewpoint at the pair is still bearish.
Earlier in a daily graph the GBP/USD formed a Dark Cloud Cover candlestick combination indicating a bearish signal.
This candlestick was formed after the pair failed to break the resistance level near 1.6750, which means that the bulls could not solidify here and the bears started to increase their influence.
The break of the Fibonacci 23.6 correction level proves this viewpoint. Now we should expect downside movement with a target at 1.6164. Its break will allow it to reach the support level 1.5932, where the Fibonacci 61.8 correction level is also located. At the same time, break of the 1.6300 level will probably cause a slight consolidation.
It is worth mentioning that stop orders should be placed slightly above the 1.6430 level as a break of this resistance will target the pair to 1.6517.
