GBP/USD On a rollercoaster


During the last month Cable is swinging back and forth mostly influenced by the greenback’s volatility.  Last week  GBP/USD was seen higher but bulls reacted to the served fundamental with retracement and since then the pair entered into bearish channel, clearly seen on the four hour time frame. During the past hours Sterling gained strength and again was tempted by the psychological  1.40 level following the neutral FOMC minutes that switched off greenback’s strength. On the same chart RSI and stochastic resumed direction towards south are both are close to extreme oversold conditions. The 20-day SMA is showing stong bearish momentum and is developing in parallel with the above mentioned channel. It will be interesting to observe how the pair will react to the vicinity of 1.3880, a support area provided by the downside of the channel. On the other hand tomorrow the UK GBP numbers are due and this could bring back bulls in the game.
