Technical Analysis – GBP/USD Selling Rallies

3:26a GMT – The GU pair offers perhaps one of the clearest fundamental pictures with the British economy showing clear signs of slowing and signals that their housing market will continue to deteriorate. Technically, as you might expect with those financial events, the GBP/USD is bearish and the pair has fallen over 1500 pips in the past month. The biggest threat to the downtrend is just how incredibly oversold the pair is on the 4 hour, daily and now the weekly charts. At some point traders will take profits or corporations will form some more substantial resistance.

Trading Idea: Looking to sell rallies once the pair is not oversold anymore, possibly around 1.8850 or even 1.9000.
