GBP/USD Doji Indicates Indecision Near Critical Range-Bottom




Talking Points



  • Strategy: Flat, Short Pending On Close Below 1.5585


  • Awaiting Guidance Near Key Technical Barrier


  • Morning Star Taking Shape On H4 Chart


GBP/USD is once again pressing against its range bottom near 1.5585 as a Doji emerges on the daily. The pattern suggests reluctance from the bears to drag the pair lower. Yet it is not a key reversal pattern, which in turn casts some doubt over the potential for a bounce back to the 1.5800 ceiling.

The four hour timeframe is beginning to paint a more constructive picture. The close of the current candle in its present position would mark a Morning Star formation. Such a bullish reversal signal would return the risks higher towards the 1.5800 mark.
