FxWirePro: GBP/USD likely to test key trend line as bullish candles failed to support price

GBP/USD bears seem to have more steam left.

  • Yesterday, two-day effort to form a bottom in GBP/USD failed in the absence of positive catalyst from ongoing Brexit negotiations and as dovish European Central Bank (ECB) propelled USD higher.
  • We had expected for the pound to rise as two consecutive bullish candles were formed back to back; hammer and a Dragon-fly Doji.
  • Since the support failed miserably, it is likely that the pound would decline further. It is gradually moving lower, ahead of U.S. non-farm payroll; data to be released at 13:30 GMT.

GBP/USD is currently testing 1.305 area.

  • It is looking increasingly likely that the pound would test the rising trend line, shown in the chart. The trend line is drawn on based on closing price.
