GBP/USD Price Forecast – British pound finding a bottom potentially

The British pound initially dropped below the 1.27 handle, but then turned right back around as word got out that Theresa May was going to hold a press conference and had a deal that was backed by her cabinet. This of course gives us a little bit of hope with stability, and therefore the market bounced. It makes a lot of sense to find support at the 1.27 level, because quite frankly it’s an area of previous support anyway. I believe that between here and the 1.25 level we should be able to find enough buyers to turn the market around. With that in mind, I’m not a seller and I’m looking for opportunities to go long if they exist.

A break above the 1.2750 level is probably your first indication that we are going to continue to rally, and at that point I would be aiming for the 1.29 level at the very least, if not the 1.30 level. The market is oversold by any metric, so at this point I have no interest in trying to chase the trade.

If we break down below the bottom of the candle stick, then I will reset my entire thinking and look for a buying opportunity closer to the 1.25 level underneath, where I think there’s even more support just waiting to happen. All things being equal, I think that there is an opportunity to pick up British pound “on the cheap” in this region, but obviously caution will be needed.
