GBP/USD Intraday Technical Analysis 2012-04-19

The spot rate is currently testing the upper limit of its medium term bullish channel at 1.6090 and seems to initiate a decline. However, a break through these levels will release good potential and initiate a violent bullish trend.
Technical indicators provide sell-signals and until the resistance is not broken the assumption of a decline is most likely. Bollinger bands are much discarded in the result of a strong increase these days. Stabilization is expected in a short term.

According to previous events the market will provide a bullish opportunity as soon as the spot rate has broken through its resistance of 1.6090 with the 1st objective at 1.6150 and then at 1.6170. A break through 1.6070 will invalidate this scenario.

GBP/USD Wave Analysis for April 20, 2012

Wave marking analysis:
Yesterday during the Asian session the GBP/USD pair has failed to test the point 1.6060 and remained within the quite narrow range. Considering that the pair has developed the inner wave dimension of the ascending part of the trend beginning since April 16, the price will probably drop to the point 1.5950. At the same time concerning the length of the wave 1 and 3 it is necessary to keep in mind that the wave 5 in 3 will be more complicated and quotes will reach the measured targets located in the area of figure 61.

Targets for the wave 3 option:
1.6095 161.8% according to Fibonacci

Targets for the wave 4 option:
1.5979 38.2% according to Fibonacci
1.5949 50.0% according to Fibonacci
1.5918 61.8% according to Fibonacci

General conclusions and trading recommendations:
At the moment the wave marking has been changed: presently the current part of the trend can be attributed to the new 5-wave structure. Also the wave 3 is probably forming. The intermediary targets for this wave is seen at the 1.6095 Fibonacci level which is equal to 161.8% of Fibonacci. If the current wave marking is true, when the wave 3 has been developed (MACD divergence/convergence will indicate the end of this wave), the quotes are likely to decline within the wave 4 with 1.5979, 1.5949 and 1.5918 seen as targets.

GBP/USD Intraday Technical Analysis and Linear Regression Channel for April 23, 201

Considering the GBP/USD Linear Regression Hourly chart, we can observe a narrow-ranged bullish violet channel indicating the bullish strength of Friday's movement.

Yellow & Blue channels depicted above are less bullish than the violet one, indicating the prevailing bullish domination during the last week.

Today at earlier time, the GBP/USD could breakdown the lower limit of all the depicted channels indicating weakness of the bulls today. Hence, the Intraday view for the GBP/USD pair is bearish for today.

Price zone 1.6100-1.6110 which corresponds to the backside of the Yellow & Blue channels and previous broken buttoms is expected to initiate a bearish movement after retesting so it is considered as a valid Intraday SELL entry with SL located above 1.6160.

TP levels are to be located at 1.6070, 1.6005 & 1.5965.
