Hello, Sergey.

To my mind the bullish tendence is more likely to take place.

Will GBP/USD rise above 1.262 in couple of weeks, what do you think?

 
sei88888:

Hello, Sergey.

To my mind the bullish tendence is more likely to take place.

Will GBP/USD rise above 1.262 in couple of weeks, what do you think?

If we look at the daily chartso the price is on bearish ranging since 27th of March this year.
The price came to be very close to the Ichimoku cloud from below to be ready to cross it for the possible daily bullish reversal.

But the key resistance levels for this 'crossing' are 1.252 and 1.264:

  • if the price crosses those levels to above on close daily bar so it means so it means that the price will be on the bullish zone of the daily chart with the primary bullish trend;
  • if not so the bearish ranging will be continuing.


And it is very similar situation on weekly chart: the price is on bearish ranging to be going along the border Ichimoku cloud and ready to be cross it from below to above for the primary bullish market condition.
And we can see same key resistance level at 1.264 for the bullish reversal to be started with 1.319 as a nearest bullish target in this case.


And it is very similar situation on monthly chart: the price is on secondary ranging without the primary bearish market condition moving along the border of Ichimoku cloud and ready to be cross this cloud to above for the primary bullish reversal.

----------------

To make it shorter: price is on bearish ranging waiting for the direction for the bullish reversal to be started or for the bearish trend to be continuing.
I think - good fundamental news events may help to move the price to the bullish zone for example ... anyway - will see ..
