The currency pair GBP / USD on August 14 did not manage to even properly correct. Just a few small purple bars and a descending movement resumed. Thus, risk currencies, in particular, the European ones, continue to enjoy minimal demand in the foreign exchange market. And the reasons for this remain the same, especially in the UK, where market participants do not observe any positive changes. Today in the United Kingdom will be published inflation for July. It is expected that the consumer price index will accelerate to 2.5%. How will traders react to this report? Most likely, in any way. Inflation in the current environment is extremely low for the UK economy. The Bank of England raised the stake at the last meeting, and many experts believe that such a decision was hasty. That first it was necessary to deal with all internal problems, in particular with Brexit, and only then to tighten monetary policy. Thus, even the acceleration of inflation is unlikely to support the pound sterling. American reports on retail sales and industrial production are also unlikely to significantly affect the mood of investors. Thus, the downward movement is likely to continue until traders begin to fix the positions trivially, believing that even lower the pair will not go away. Determine this point can be on technical indicators.
Nearest support levels:
S1 - 1.2695
S2 - 1,2573
S3 - 1.2451
Nearest resistance levels:
R1 = 1.2817
R2 = 1.2939
R3 = 1.3062
Trading recommendations:
The pair GBP / USD resumed its fall. Thus, now it is recommended to stay in short positions or to increase them with the goal of 1,2573. The rebound of the price from the level of 1.2695 can provoke a correction loop, which can confirm the turn of Heikin Ashi upward.
Buy-positions can be considered only after fixing the price above the moving average line with the target of 1.2939. In this case, it can be assumed that the bears at the current stage decided to fix the profit and for a while give the initiative to the bulls.
In addition to the technical picture, one should also take into account the fundamental data and the time of their release.
