There’s strong confirmation that the 15-minute GBP/USD has put in a top as price action has created a ceiling along the highs of 1.5701 and 1.5692. The 15-minute chart is currently in a distribution market cycle which makes the exhaustion fade off this ceiling an agressive way to short sell the weakness – if confirmed by an overbought Stochastics.
(FYI: I like to use a smoother, slower 21, 1, 3 setting on my Stochastics)
Chart date range 12-Aug 22:45 GMT-> 17-Aug 05:45 GMT Data Interval 15 Minutes
The challenge for trade is trade follow-through. The expectation for the Cable to simply sell-off sharply from here would be in contrast to the uptrend that is still in place on the daily chart despite the recent correction.
While the support around 1.5640 is a tempting downside target, keep an eye for 1.5659 tp offer near-term support. Additionally the 60-minute chart (which is in a very shallow uptrend) has a swing buy and 34 period EMA high support at 1.5658.
Analysis Rising Wedge identified at 17-Aug 01:15 GMT. This pattern is still in the process of forming. Possible bullish price movement towards the resistance 1.5701 within the next 3 hours.
