Key Quotes
“GBP/USD has spiked through but failed to close above the end of July high at 1.5690. Intraday Elliott wave counts are suggesting that we should fail here and see a slide back to the1.5424 current August low and the 200 day moving average at 1.5371”.
“For a more negative stance to be adopted at this stage we will need a close below the July low at 1.5330. Meanwhile further upside probes cannot be ruled out”.
“Should a daily close above the late July high at 1.5690 be seen we would allow for a deeper rally to the 200 week moving average at 1.5864 and probably the 1.5930 June high”.
