$GBPUSD

$GBPUSD closed slightly lower on Wednesday as it extends this summer's trading range. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Thursday's night session begins trading. 

Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. Closes above June's high crossing at 1.5773 would confirm an upside breakout of this summer's trading range while opening the door for a possible test of the 62% retracement level of the April-June decline crossing at 1.5891. 

If September renews the decline off July's high, the reaction low crossing at 1.5488 is the next downside target. 

  • First resistance is June's high crossing at 1.5773. 
  • Second resistance is the 62% retracement level of the April-June decline crossing at 1.5891. 
  • First support is the reaction low crossing at 1.5488. 
  • Second support is the reaction low crossing at 1.5456.
