$GBPUSD

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