Decline into the negative territory yesterday initiated selling pressure and GBPUSD dropped below the suggested support level at 1.6218. Technically, pair is set for new targets achievement. On the upside, next resistance locates above the today’s high at 1.6239 (R1). Break here would suggest next target at 1.6274 (R2) and any further rise would then be limited to 1.6311 (R3). However, successful retest of our next support level at 1.6181 (S1) would suggest a pullback expansion towards to targets at 1.6144 (S2) and 1.6109 (S3).

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis

The pair is under the process of recovering. Our bearish medium term outlook will remain in place while USDJPY trades below the resistance at 78.46 (R1). Break here might change market structure and determine medium term uptrend development. In such scenario we would suggest next targets at 78.73 (R2) and 79.01 (R3). Though, today we expect that the pair continues to extend its bearish pressure and face next support level at 77.88 (S1). Break here is required to extend easing towards to 77.62 (S2) and 77.37 (S3) in perspective.
