Price Time Analysis: GBP/USD
Charts Created using Marketscope – Prepared by Kristian Kerr
- GBP/USD traded to a new low for the year on Friday before rebounding off the 127% extension of the late October range
- Our near-term trend bias is lower in Cable while under 1.6020
- The next downside pivot of significance looks to be around 1.5720 with a move through there needed to trigger a more important decline in the pound
- A minor turn window is eyed later this week

Focus Chart of the Day: SP 500
A key couple of days are coming up for the SP 500. Near-term cyclical analysis and some other timing techniques suggest the index is vulnerable to a turnaround during this two day period. The key level to monitor over this timeframe looks to be the 2038 level. This is the 5th square root relationship of the October low and a natural potential stopping point. Failure to gain much traction over 2038 in the days ahead should confirm the cyclical relevance of the first half of the week and set the stage for a decent counter-trend move lower. A close, on the other hand, well above 2038 would under undermine the potential negative cycle and shift focus higher and on a push towards the next key resistance at 2077/80.
