Mini DT led to a quick selloff to month midpoint (the usual stop point for sudden moves, btw). Then staged a 1-2-3 buy, and tagged minimal target at prior week close. Closed the week below midpoint but above prior week low.
Next Week Outlook
Unlike EURUSD, GBPUSD is more bullish overall because it has successfully defended itself from completing the 50% downside range expansion. A retest of previous week low is likely but not necessary.
If the prior week low acts as support and early in the week the pair tags its previous week high area (green zone) then monthly range expansion to the upside is possible.
Key price level to watch is the high of the first week of the month (red zone). If it is broken and turns into resistance, GBPUSD will head to 1.50 area very quickly.
