GBP/USD Technical Analysis – Prices declined as expected after putting in a Hanging Man candlestick below support-turned-resistance at the underside of a rising channel set from mid-March. A break below support at 1.5291, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, has exposed the 76.4% level at 1.5183. A further push beneath that aims for May 29 low at 1.5008. The 1.5291 mark has been recast as near-term resistance, with a move back above that aiming for the 50% retracement at 1.5379.
