Cable (GBPUSD) is in focus for us today after the market reversed its bullish sentiment from last week.
Last week’s close was bearish below the key Weekly (W1) resistance of 1.2325.
This could see sellers target the key Weekly (W1) swing lows at 1.2050.
GBP is W2 on our trend traders table and USD is S2.
On the slate throughout today we do have speeches from Bank of England members which will impact the price of cable today, so we could trade this at a reduced risk.
Currently on the H1 chart, the price is below the 50 moving average, this tells us that the price is currently bearish.
If price can stay below this H1 50 moving average we can continue to look for short opportunities.
The H1 Stochastic Oscillator also shows a potential opportunity forming, if we can see the K line below the D line, and both below the 80 level, it shows us that bearish momentum is entering the market again.
Ideally, we want to be short from an area of resistance, the resistance is currently higher at 1.2200 – 1.2215 which are the previous H4 highs.
If price can reject one of these levels and form a bearish close below the 50 moving average we can look to short down to the key swing lows at 1.2050.
