GBP/USD Forex Technical Analysis Strategy


GBP/USD Forex Technical Analysis Strategy
The GBP/USD has broken and closed below some critical support levels into last week, reaching lows of 1.5570 before stalling. This downside momentum is expected to continue next week as prices have failed at the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the daily downtrend and trendline support on the hourly charts has been removed. Bounces from here are expected to be limited but selling rallies is the preferred strategy. The critical level to watch is 1.5630 and if this resistance is broken our view turns consolidative for the short term.

Greece was not ready for euro admits ex Bundesbank head

Greece should not have joined the euro, a former head of the German central bank, who was central to eurozone policymaking at the time, has said. But Ernst Welteke, who was Bundesbank president from 1999-2004, told the BBC that none of the eurozone's problems would be solved if Greece left. He added there should be greater transfer of wealth from richer parts of the eurozone to poorer parts. He said he was confident measures were in place to ensure the euro's survival. "The euro is not in as big a danger as is often recorded," Mr Welteke told Business Daily on the BBC's World Service. "The euro has been stable [for] 10 years, inside and outside the European Monetary Union (EMU)." Strong union He said that, in hindsight, it was clear that Greece was not ready for the euro. "We can say that Greece should not have joined the EMU, but that doesn't help." He sai...

Dollar hits fresh two-month low vs. yen after U.S. GDP

SINGAPORE/SYDNEY (Reuters) - The dollar hit a fresh two-month low versus the yen and eight-month trough against sterling on Monday, staying under pressure after data last week showed disappointing first-quarter  economic growth . The dollar fell to 80.10 yen at one point on trading platform EBS, its lowest level since late February, and was last changing hands at 80.18 yen, down 0.1 percent from late U.S. trade on Friday. The dollar has come under broad pressure after data on Friday showed U.S. economic growth cooled in the first quarter partly as businesses cut back on investment, bolstering the Federal Reserve's case that interest rates should be kept near zero at least through late 2014.

The body of Libya's former Oil Minister Shukri Ghanem has been found in the Danube River, Austrian police say. A spokesman said there were no signs of violence to Mr Ghanem's body, which was in the river that flows through Vienna. The former prime minister, 69, worked as a consultant for a Vienna-based company. He apparently left his home early on Sunday, police said. Mr Ghanem defected from Libya as the country was engulfed in the uprising against Col Muammar Gaddafi last year. At the time, he criticised the bloodshed in Libya, saying that the situation had become "unbearable", making his position untenable. He served as Libyan prime minister from 2003 to 2006 and then as oil minister until 2011. Post-mortem examination A passer-by reported seeing the body under a bridge near a popular recreation ground in Vienna. Police spokesman Roman Hahslinger said Mr Ghanem was dressed when he was found but had no personal identification documents on him, wit...
