GBP/USD Mid-Day Outlook
Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.4600; (P) 1.4796; (R1) 1.5033
GBP/USD recovers mildly after dipping to 1.4557 but upside is still limited below 1.5080 minor resistance. Intraday bias remains on the downside and further decline is still expected to mentioned target of 161.8% projection of 2.0158 to 1.7445 from 1.8668 at 1.4278. On the upside, above 1.5345 will turn intraday outlook neutral first and bring brief consolidation before staging another fall.
In the bigger picture, there are some different interpretations of the structure of the whole down trend from 2.1161, with different projection targets. The most bearish case is that fall from 2.0158 is the third wave in whole fall from 2.1161 while fall from 1.8668 is the third wave of the fall from 2.0158. In other words, GBP/USD is just in the middle of the whole down trend from 2.1161. The least bearish case is that the fall from 1.8668 is the fifth wave of the whole five wave decline from 2.1161 and is nearing an end. Nevertheless, in any case, the fall from 1.8668 needs to complete a five wave structure before considering that a medium term bottom is formed. Having said that, medium term outlook will remain bearish as long as 1.6671 resistance holds.
