GBPUSD bears retake controls on the key Thursday comprising Bank of England (BOE) monetary policy meeting and important Brexit talks in Paris. Technical set-up hints at further weakness on the pair’s inability to rise past 50-DMA, coupled with the bearish MACD signals. However, a clear downside break of a five-week-long support line, near 1.3615, becomes necessary. Also probing the sellers is the latest swing low surrounding August month’s trough close to the 1.3600 threshold. In a case where prices remain weak past 1.3600, July’s low of 1.3570 will act as a buffer before dragging the quote to the yearly bottom of 1.3410.
Meanwhile, a surprise positive fueling the pair above the 50-DMA level of 1.3705 will aim for a downward sloping resistance line from mid-September, around 1.3810. Following that, the 200-DMA level 1.3846 will be a tough nut to crack for the GBPUSD bulls before heading towards September’s peak of 1.3913 and the 1.4000 psychological magnet.
