\\n

\\n

GBP/USD recovered back almost all the way to 1.3639 after dipping down to 1.3571.

\\n

Visual analysis of the The British Pound's price graph shows the pound might start to recover soon because it is getting close and is now only 68 pips from the support line at 1.3511, Obviously, dipping below it could be an indication that further losses are ahead. In terms of trend indicators, we can see that at 1.3649, pound/dollar made an initial breakout below the 21 day Simple Moving Average, an indication of a negative trend. The CCI indicator is bellow -100. When the CCI (Commodity Channel Index) is at this level, it means the price is below the average price as measured by the indicator, indicating a possible start of a new downtrend. Asset volatility analysis shows that a slight indication of recovery comes from looking at the Bollinger bands: the lower band is at 1.3574 – a low enough level to usually suggest the British Pound is trading below its value.

\\n

Overall, the technical analysis suggests the Pound is neutral for the immediate future, with no clear-cut direction.
