Key Quotes

GBP/USD held steady yesterday and even saw a slight recovery. The market has seen repeated failure at the 1.5674 recent high over the past 2 weeks and on Thursday charted a key day reversal to the downside, yet for some reason the intraday Elliott wave counts remain positive. We will tighten our stops on our short positions as a precaution”.

“For now our negative bias remains entrenched and we look for rallies to remain capped by 1.5700 and trigger a slide towards support at 1.5171, the June low and favour losses beyond here. Initial target is the 200 day ma at 1.5402 and 1.5332 the July low”.
