$GBPUSD

$GBPUSD  closed higher on Tuesday and above the upper boundary of this summer's trading range crossing at 1.5773. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Wednesday's night session begins trading. 

Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. Multiple 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. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 1.5658 would signal that a short-term top has been posted. 

First resistance is today's high crossing at 1.5804. 
Second resistance is the 62% retracement level of the April-June decline crossing at 1.5891. 

First support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 1.5658. 
Second support is the reaction low crossing at 1.5488.
