Today’s Binary Options Trading Strategy:
• Currency Pair: GBPUSD
• Timeframe: H4 (Hourly Chart)
• Binary Option Trading Recommendation: Seek binary put options on rallies above 1.5160
• Downside Potential: The downside potential for this binary put option is 420 pips to 1.4740
• Upside Potential: The upside potential for this binary put option is 140 pips to 1.5300
The GBPUSD is nearing the end of a strong advance which emerged from its intra-day low of 1.4565 recorded on April 13th 2015.
Initially the move to the upside broke out above a descending resistance level which originated from its intra-day high of 1.4981 reached on April 6th 2015; this took the GBPUSD to its intra-day high of 1.5053 which was recorded on April 17th 2015. A minor reversal took this currency pair back down to the intersection between its ascending support level and its descending resistance level from where the GBPUSD accelerated into its current intra-day high of 1.5186 which was reached today on April 27th 2015.
Price action is currently trading inside of its horizontal resistance level which is being intersected by a rising wedge formation formed as a result of its rapid advance. The GBPUSD is anticipated to successfully breakdown below its ascending support level from where it can decelerate into its descending resistance level. Binary options traders can profit from the expected breakdown with binary put options. Today’s binary options trading strategy suggests put options to be placed on rallies above 1.5160 for a risk/reward ratio of 1.0/3.00.
Volatility has decreased as the GBPUSD has accelerated to the upside, but the expected shift in momentum is likely to be accompanied by a sharp increase in volatility. The rising wedge formation, a bearish chart pattern, has merged with its horizontal resistance level and started to exercise downward pressure on this currency pair. Buyers may attempt to extend the advance with a breakout above its horizontal resistance level which is unlikely to be sustained. Sellers are favored to take the rising wedge formation in combination with its horizontal resistance level as a platform to force a breakdown from where the GBPUSD can accelerate to the downside.
The GBPUSD will face its first support level, after a successful breakdown below its horizontal resistance level, at its intra-day high of 1.5053 which was reached on April 17th 2015. This level represents the origin of its ascending resistance level. A breakdown below this level will take the GBPUSD to its intra-day low of 1.4856 recorded on April 21st 2015. This level marks the intersection between its ascending support level and its descending resistance level. The final support level is located at its descending resistance level around the 1.4740 mark.
