GBP/USD: surge through 1.6120, with aims at 1.6255 for 1.6382

  • Despite a cautious tone on an approach to the 1.6255 Sept peak, the Thursday surge higher signalled a constructive bias within a still range environment, but with heightened risk of a shift to a more bullish tone again above 1.6255.
  • The prior rebound from above chart support, at 1.5885, rejected a more bearish shift and reinforces upside risk

WHAT CHANGES THIS?

  • Upside: Above the peak at 1.6255 re-energizes through the cycle high, 1.6382 with overshoot risk into Nov towards a 2011 failure peak at 1.6617.
  • Downside: Below 1.58855 signals a more notable bearish reversal down to chart/ pivot supports at 1.5775/50/10.
