Intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for GBP/USD for February 2, 2016

This image is no longer relevant

Few months ago, the market was pushed above the depicted level at 1.5550 trying to reach the zone of 1.5900 where the depicted Head and Shoulders pattern was formed.

On November 2015, a bearish engulfing weekly candlestick closed below the level of 1.5200 (the neckline of the Head and Shoulders pattern). This supported the bearish side of the market in the long term.

A quick bearish decline towards the previous weekly level of 1.4950 was expected as a result of a bearish breakout below 1.5200.

Extensive bearish pressure has been applied to the demand levels of 1.4620 and 1.4360. Both of them were broken to the downside.

Shortly after, the GBP/USD pair has moved below 1.4220; evident signs of bullish recovery were expressed around 1.4075. Hence, the two previous weekly candlesticks closed above 1.4220 indicating strong bullish demand.

That is why, the zone of 1.4360-1.4220 remains a significant demand zone for the GBP/USD pair.

Bullish persistence above 1.4220 and 1.4360 is mandatory to maintain enough bullish strength in the market. The first bullish target is seen at 1.4615.

During 2015, significant bearish rejection was expressed around 1.5770 and 1.5230 where a bearish Head and Shoulders reversal pattern was formed. Since then, the market has been trending downwards within the depicted bearish channel.

Few weeks ago, the level of 1.4950 was broken to the downside, constituting a significant supply level.

Daily persistence below 1.4800 (the lower limit of the depicted bearish channel) favored a bearish decline towards 1.4680 and 1.4610 where previous prominent bottoms are located on the GBP/USD daily chart.

Currently, the GBP/USD pair looks oversold as it is moving further below the prominent demand levels of 1.4620 and 1.4360.

That is why any sign of a bullish rejection around the demand level of 1.4220 should be considered a valid buy signal.

Bullish persistence above 1.4360 is mandatory to maintain enough bullish strength in the market. The first bullish target is projected towards 1.4615.

Trading Recommendation:

In our previous articles, traders were advised to take a valid buy entry when the GBP/USD bulls managed to achieve a daily closure above the level of 1.4220. It is already running in profits now.

Initial T/P levels should be located at 1.4440, 1.4500 and 1.4615 while S/L should be advanced to 1.4270 to secure some profits.

Traders who missed the initial trade can have another BUY entry near the price level of 1.4360 when retesting occurs.

T/P levels would be located at 1.4470, 1.4550, and 1.4610.
