The rise from 1.4650 peaked at 1.4817 and a massive sell-off followed, reaching a temporary low at 1.4703.

A short-term bottom has been set at 87.12 and a large consolidation is unfolding since. Trading is situated below the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 94.86 and 94.84.
As expected, the pair initiated a rise towards 89.13 and probably after one more test in the 89.40 area a change in the direction is to be expected, for the last leg downwards, to 87.12. The overall bias remains negative with a crucial resistance at 90.40.

GBP/USD
Current level- 1.6012
The pair is in a downtrend after peaking at 1.7042. Trading is situated between the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 1.6454 and 1.5258.
Recent test of the 1.6130 resistance failed and the pair is in a minor downtrend for 1.5970. Break below that level will target 1.5855, which is the trigger point for a massive sell-off towards 1.5352. Nearest resistance comes at 1.6061.
