Gbp/Usd – Is Market Structure Really Bullish?|Influencer Forex Analysis•Jasper Njuguna

This pair displayed good bullish price action during last week trading session as market speculators drove the cable price higher even amid some not so loud wavering concerns regarding the ongoing brexit negotiations and also high intense campaigns going on in the United States.

But is the overall market sentiment for this pair bullish even for the short to long term outlook？

An inverted head and shoulder pattern formation is playing out and seeing a retest of the neckline as viewed on higher timeframes but more visible on the seven day chart. Though this is a bullish pattern, the major supporting indicators currently are not yet confirming buying bias as both the 20 and the 50 moving average are below the 200 moving average and market speculators may dive the price down and in that case making the pattern a false flag.

7 Day Chart;

On the daily chart, buyers did not push the price past the price handle 1.35 level as market speculators could have noted and looked backed and viewed a previous month long indecision phase. And so generally market speculators will be looking for short scalp or intra-day positions.

Daily chart;

Of course, one’s discretion and risk management is advised.
