FOREXAnalysis: The GBPUSD is clear cut here…the drop below channel support reinforces recent comments – “There is no certainty in market analysis or trading but this is a perfect place for a top. The 50% retracement of the decline from the January high, channel resistance and internal trendline that dates to September 2012 are a formidable barrier. When considering the break of the 4 year triangle (red line on chart is former triangle support) in February, it is possible that an incredibly important top is in place at the May 1 high. Even if a top of importance is in place, there will be bounces along the way…especially in the early going.” With weakness below 1.5320, look towards 1.5220.

FOREX Trading Strategy: Stay short, move stop on all to 1.5460, increase position on strength into 1.5330/85, decrease position at 1.5220.

LEVELS: 1.5075 1.5127 1.5218 1.5330 1.5385 1.5451
