The Daily Forecaster: GBP/USD

admin — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 04:46:48 +0000

There’s still a risk of seeing 1.6069 but while it holds the outlook is bullish otherwise expect losses

The underlying MT direction is bullish while the daily bias is bullish. Therefore the main risk is higher. Ensure that key support levels hold. Note key resistance levels that would suggest continuation of the bullish move. Consider confirming this with a bullish set up pattern in price or an indicator. Only consider a possible larger reversal lower should key MT support break and is supported by a bearish set up in price or an indicator

Consider buy set ups at: 1.6069-81

Consider sell set ups at: 1.6060 or 1.6254-94

Uncertainties surrounding the Bank of England interest rate decision are likely to keep the GBP/USD range-bound in the days ahead, but comments from the central bank would spark increased volatility in exchange rate as investors weigh the prospects for future policy.
