In July 15, extensive bearish impulse was initiated. Since then, the GBP/USD pair has been downtrending limited by the depicted downtrend line.
Two successive bearish impulses were initiated around 1.7180 and 1.6630 corresponding to the trend line.
Price level of 1.6140 constitutes a prominent weekly support to meet the pair. Bullish rejection was witnessed in the recent daily candlesticks ( note the bullish engulfing daily candlestick which emerged on Thursday). This led to a bullish weekly closure ( above the weekly support level around 1.6250 ).
Retracement towards the price zone of 1.6350-1.6400 took place as expected where a new bearish impulse is expected to be applied offering a valid low-risk sell entry. Stop loss should be set as daily closure above 1.6460.
This price zone corresponds to the upper limit of the depicted channels as well as prominent Fibonacci level of the recent bearish impulse between 1.7180 and 1.6060.
This probably offers a valid SELL opportunity as long as the bears keep defending price zone of 1.6480-1.6530 ( 23.6% Fibonacci level and previous bottom ).
