Overview:
Recently, the strong bullish pressure was applied at the resistance level of 1.5800 via the recent bullish swing.
Hence, the resistance level of 1.5800 was temporarily breached. Bulls moved towards 1.5900 where the depicted Head and Shoulders reversal pattern was confirmed.
Later, the support level of 1.5555 got breached by the end of September, due to the excessive bearish pressure, which originated at 1.5800.
The GBP/USD pair moved towards the support zone of 1.5170-1.5150 where a valid intraday buy entry was offered especially after the evident bullish rejection, which took place on October 6.
Conservative traders were advised to wait for a bullish pullback towards the level of 1.5480 for a low-risk sell entry.
Note that bearish persistence below the level of 1.5200 is needed for a further bearish decline towards the levels of 1.5000 (prominent weekly support).
On the other hand, a valid sell entry can be offered around the current price levels (1.5200-1.5230) if enough bearish rejection is expressed by the end of the day.
However, a bullish breakout above the level of 1.5250 exposes next resistance levels around 1.5350 and 1.5450.
Price actions should be watched around 1.4980 where the lower limit of the depicted movement channel comes to meet the GBP/USD pair. This is where a valid buy entry can be offered. S/L should be located below 1.4900.
