The British pound initially tries to rally during the week, yet fails
The British pound initially tried to rally against the US dollar during the week but found enough resistance above the 1.43 level to roll over and fall rather significantly. The 1.40 level of course will offer a bit of support, and I think that if we can break down below that level it’s likely that we will probably go looking towards the uptrend line underneath, and of course the sideways support at the 1.3650 level should also offer support.

The British pound continued to fall on Friday, reaching down towards the 1.40 level for support against the US dollar. This is partly due to Mark Carney suggesting that the Bank of England was a bit more dovish than people thought, and of course raising interest rates in the United States.

British pound rallies during the Thursday session, showing signs of support again
The British pound has pulled back slightly at the open on Thursday, but then bounced enough to form a bit of a “W pattern” on the hourly chart. I believe that we are trying to break out to the upside again, but remember, this pair is going to be very choppy as the United Kingdom continues to discuss leaving the European Union.
