Brexit Excitement Sends GBP Bid Ready for a Shortterm Correction GBPUSD EURGBP
Technicals are approaching levels for a possible reversal in some GBP pairs
Share this:
Today, the House of Lords struck down part of the Internal Market bill that was a crucial part of Boris Johnson’s plans for a “revised” Brexit trade deal. Although Johnson says he plans to pursue the clauses that were struck down, the Pound went bid as there is now a better chance of a trade deal getting done. Talks yesterday were encouraging as well, suggesting more optimism for the Pound. But the technicals are approaching levels for a possible reversal.
GBP/USD
On a daily timeframe, GBP/USD has broken above horizontal resistance and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the highs of September 1st to the lows of September 23rd near 1.3175. The pair has been in a rising channel since the September 23rd lows. However, there is a confluence of resistance above at the top, upward sloping channel trendline, horizontal resistance, and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement, level between 1.3300 and 1.3350.

Even before the upper channel trendline though, price has just hit the 127% Fibonacci extension from the highs on October 21st to the lows of November 2nd near 1.3265. The RSI is near overbought conditions; however, it is diverging from price. Horizontal support is below near 1.3200. then at the prior inflection highs near 1.3176.

EUR/GBP

Resistance is back at the prior support ner .8950.

On a 240-minute timeframe, there is a clearer picture of the potential for a reversal as the low candlestick is a hammer, which indicates a possible reversal. Notice here too the clear resistance at .8950. Support is at the day’s lows near .8884, then the horizontal support near .8865.
