Chart Analysis:
Directional bias: 2 Weeks GBP/USD
The chart shows that the GBP/USD pair has now moved out of the downward parallel channel that was seen in the last analysis on 13th October. This indicates the bullish bias of the market and probably a change is taking place in the ongoing downtrend.
Due to these changes in the past 2 weeks the Key Resistance level has moved up to 138.05 and the Resistance Zone shifted higher between 139.00 to 139.30 showing viable long positions are possible at this stage targeting the resistance levels on the chart. At the time of the analysis, the pair is trading just above the Pivot point at 136.55 and just below the 50-Day EMA and the 200-day EMA lines.
If the prices drop below the Pivot at 136.55 support level, then possible short positions targeting the Key Support at 135.75. With further weakness, the pair could slide towards the Support zone between 134.70 to 134.40.
Fundamental Overview: For GBP/USD pair the next two days are quite crucial. Today there is the release of the Fed Rate decision and Tomorrow is the day for the NFP data.
