GBPUSD Technical Update

• Cable was trading around the 1.5865 area heading into Friday and looked set for a weekly basis gain. However, the price action as the week drew to a close had this pair covering around 189 pips – with the majority of this to the downside – post the NFP report.
• The currency strength chart last week highlighted the GBP as one of the weakest currencies over the mid-term and this bearish momentum has continued.
• Resistance had been found around the highlighted 38.2% Fibonacci level, roughly aligned with the prior swing lows from mid November 2012.
• The pound/dollar pair has ultimately closed the week near the longer term 61.8% Fibonacci area, as highlighted in our previous cable update – an area which acted as support on the 28/1/13.
