FxWirePro: Cable’s Interim Bulls Exhausted On Shooting Star & Hanging Man – Trade & Hedging Setup

Cable (GBPUSD) is plunged from the peaks of 1.2813 to the recent lows of 1.2454 levels. The intraday volatility is tepid and, prices seem to be drifting into a range after pulling back from 1.2813 Fibonacci resistance, and holding the 1.2455 support region. 

A clear break of 1.2455 would suggest a further shift back into the previous range, with 1.2250-1.1075 the support in that process. While over 1.2455, the longer we can develop a range, the greater the chance that we still see a move towards 1.30-1.32 levels.

Prior to which, bulls in minor trend breakout stiff resistance,  hanging man & shooting star signal intensified bearish momentum, current price slides below 7-DMA, both leading oscillators are in line with prevailing downswings.

Hanging man & bearish engulfing patterns disrupt consolidation phase, current price tumbles below 7, 21 &100-EMAs despite mild upswing, major downtrend resumes & hits all-time lows as both leading & lagging oscillators bearish bias.
