FX.co ★ GBP/USD intraday technical levels and trading recommendations for October 13, 2015

Overview:

Recently, strong bullish pressure was applied to the resistance level of 1.5800 via the recent bullish swing.

That is why, 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 on, the support level of 1.5555 got breached by the end of the previous month due to 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 that took place on Tuesday (bullish engulfing daily candlestick).

Conservative traders were advised to wait for a bullish pullback towards the level of 1.5350 for a low-risk sell entry. It was triggered during yesterday's consolidations. It is running in profits now. S/L should remain above 1.5400.

Bearish persistence below the level of 1.5300 (SELL ENTRY) and 1.5200 is needed for further bearish decline towards the level of 1.5100 then 1.5050 (bearish Flag projection target).
