GBP/USD increasing likeliness of failure around 1.6840 – Commerzbank
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Another failure to follow through the area of 1.6840 could indicate further chances of a failure in the region, said Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank.
Key Quotes
“GBP/USD for the third trading day remained capped by the 1.6842 high from last week and the risk has increased that we will see failure here”.
“Dips will find minor support at 1.6680/72, ahead of trend line support at 1.6625 and key support at 1.6470. We will need to break at least the uptrend to negate the current push higher”
“Above 1.6840 would allow for an extension to 1.6900 possibly 1.7041, the August 2009 peak ahead of failure (this is less favoured)”.
