GBP/USD intraday technical analysis and trading recommendations for March 15, 2013
The price around 1.5300 marks the upper limit of the consolidation pattern above 1.5075. Hence, formation of a lower high around 1.5220, followed by breakdown below 1.5075, is enhancing the bearish sentiment of the market. The bearish breakout, which took place last week, achieved its target at 1.4880 where significant bullish rejection was demonstrated in the bullish daily hammer candlesticks. Yesterday it was followed by strong bullish movement.
Also the daily closures, which were observed last week, imply the continuation of the sell-off afterwards, provided that the pair remains below 1.5155-1.5220 (major supply zone). That is why, retesting of this zone which is taking place now provides a valid SELL entry with SL located just above 1.5250.
The first strong support will then be encountered at 1.5075, 1.4985, and then 1.4855, if the current bearish movement remains intact this week.
