GBP/USD: bulls showed weakness
2019-11-11 • Updated
Recommendation:
SELL 1.2845
SL 1.29
TP1 1.2665
On the daily chart, GBP/USD keeps forming the shark pattern with the target at 113%. It is situated near 1.2767 (38.2% of the last descending wave). The inability of the bulls to return the quotes inside the medium-term uptrend channel points at their weakness. In such environment, it makes sense to sell the pound on rallies.
On H1, GBP/USD formed 2 areas where players accumulated short positions: 1.2950-1.3025 and 1.2845-1.2910. A retest of the lower border of the previous consolidation range will allow bears to continue the decline.
