Talking Points:

  • GBP/USD Technical Strategy: Flat
  • Support: 1.5308, 1.5224, 1.5088
  • Resistance: 1.5444, 1.5554, 1.5664

The UK general election . A daily close above the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion at 1.5444 exposes the 1.5551-54 area (50% level, February 26 high). Alternatively, a turn below the 23.6% Fib at 1.5308 clears the way for a test of the 14.6% Fib at 1.5224.

Prices are too close to resistance to justify entering long from a risk/reward perspective. On the other hand, the absence of a defined bearish reversal signal suggests that taking up the short side is premature. With that in mind, we will remain flat for now.
