GBPUSD

 

A solid dollar weighed on the pound which remains weak amid the Brexit concerns. Sellers sustained to dominate on lastday. Traders surrounded the support  levels of 1.2400 overnight & smashed below it with Europe session opening. After cracaking the level sellers moved the price lower towards its quick support at 1.2300 levels. 

 

The value bounced off the 100-EMAs & drive towards the 200-EMAs in the 4HR chart. The 50 & 100 EMAs are twisting downside although the 200-EMA remians neutral in the 4HR chart. The resistance finds in 1.2400, the support comes in 1.2300. MACD histogram decreased which hints the seller’s strength. RSI oscillator jumped downside directions. If the pair consolidates under 1.2400 levels we forecast its additional extension towards 1.2300 levels.

The resistance levels will be at 113.00 levels, the support will be at 112.00 levels. MACD indicator is at the centerline. If the histogram moves into the negative region, that will indicate seller’s growing strength. If MACD comes back into the positive region the buyers will take the market control. RSI stayed within the overbought area. Inability to extend additional gains might increase risks for a much-needed alteration. In this picture sellers might lead values towards 109.00 levels through 110.00 levels. If the upward pressure persists we will consider the test level 113.00 soon.
