Talking Points

  • GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Sidelines Preferred
  • Dark Cloud Cover Receives Limited Response
  • Consolidation Within 1.5950 and 1.6180 Endures

GBP/USD continues to search for direction within the 1.5950 to 1.6170/80 region with a Dark Cloud Cover pattern in its wake. Thus far the key reversal candlestick formation has found little-follow through with a subsequent Doji highlighting hesitation from traders. This leaves a more constructive setup desired to offer a clearer directional bias for the Sterling.

The four hour chart highlights a lack of conviction amongst traders as GBP/USD continues to be capped below 1.6130 in intraday trade. A Dark Cloud Cover formation at the nearby ceiling suggested the bulls were losing their grip on the pair. Yet with follow-through limited the pair is left lacking cues from candlesticks at this stage.
