The next leg up for GBPUSD is underway.
I first wrote about this bullish breakout on September 4.
Buyers had just cleared channel resistance at 1.2200, which had us watching for a retest of 1.2200/20 as new support.
We got that retest within hours when the September 5 session carved a low of 1.2209.
Then last week ended with a consolidation day that looked relatively bullish.
Here’s what I wrote before the weekend:
Although GBPUSD bulls didn’t quite reach the next resistance level at 1.2380, they are well on their way.
I’m not seeing any signs of weakness despite the latest three-day 400-pip rally.
Friday’s session is set to close red, but so far, it’s just consolidation.
You can see how Friday’s candle fits neatly within Thursday’s range.
Today’s consolidation is also occurring within the upper half of Thursday’s candle, which is a positive sign for buyers.
Quote from Friday’s analysis.
So far, we have a 4-hour close above 1.2380. You can see how this area was previously serving as resistance.
That’s a good start for bulls.
However, I would feel much better about the likelihood of a bullish continuation next week with a daily and weekly close above 1.2380.
Waiting for that to happen is also a non-issue, in my opinion.
You wouldn’t want to buy right now anyway with GBPUSD up over 100 pips on the day.
It’s also Friday which means you would need to hold a new position over the weekend.
That’s never ideal.
So, sitting out a while longer won’t make any difference.
And if you did buy following the breakout I wrote about on the 4th, you’re up 200 pips at the moment.
I also see no reason to exit that position, at least not yet.
That said, if buyers fail to keep price above 1.2380 into this week’s 5 pm EST close, we could see this GBPUSD rally start to unravel next week.
A close above it, on the other hand, would keep the pressure on that 1.2570 region going into next week.

Sir Bennett. I salute your skills. You are very helpful n i truly appreciate your effort in helping us out
Cheers. Happy to help.
Good one Mr Bennett.
Thanks.
Justin, While I LOVE the technical analysis I am going to be the voice of reason here and just say two phrases that I believe negate a lot of the TA on Cable (GBP/USD)
BREXIT & DEAL OR NO-DEAL
Hi Fred, I appreciate your view. However, I’ve been hearing that same thing for months now and yet here we are with technicals still playing out beautifully.
Furthermore, to say technical analysis won’t play a role in a deal/no-deal scenario is to say that human psychology will no longer be a factor.
I can’t agree with that in the least.
Is it possible for you to put the time of your post in addition to the date which can be seen.
Thanks
It’s possible, but I don’t see the value in adding that considering I trade from the daily time frame.
Great post! Volume confirms the break of 1.2380. So let’s ride it!
Cheers, Hemanth. Have a great weekend.
Thanks sir justin for the update hopefully we can make some money next week.
You’re welcome, Ali.
So you think all this movement higher is all price action and nothing to do with getting closer to a deal being done with Brexit that is why the price is moving
Tim, where did I write that?
That isn’t what I’m saying at all. I’m not sure what made you think so.
Hi Bennet,
Can you please share outlook for Gold and Silver? Should I buy at current levels? Thanks
I wrote about gold this past week. Nothing has changed: https://dailypriceaction.com/setups/gold-xauusd-rally-risk-below-1480/
