happens to be 76.4% retracement of the January to July down move. The weekly momentum
indicator RSI has also given a break above a resistance line (orange dash). However, with the
daily RSI approaching a one year resistance line, the pair could well be forming a flat pattern
with the upside limited to 1.3713,January high (See page 2).
GBP/USD is testing the multiyear channel resistance of 1.6250. With the weekly RSI at
resistance and daily RSI diverging, the current up move will face stiff resistance at 1.6382,
January high (See page 3).
