Bias: Mixed - waiting for breaks
Bullish: Break of 1.8015 confirmed the move to 1.8095 which was also broken with a high registered at 1.8143. This gives us mixed feelings and further strength is not out of the question. We see support at 1.8045 and this could hold to allow a move above resistance at 1.8105-20 which would confirm a retest at 1.8143 and probably follow-through to 1.8180-95.
Bearish: Although the 1.8095 level was broken the downside still has a chance of resuming. However, we need to be prudent here. First support is at 1.8045 and break here should allow losses to move down to 1.7965-85 at least. However, only below 1.7925 actually confirms a reversal lower and this may not happen today. Below 1.7925 implies losses to 1.7840 and lower.

Support: 1.7925 1.7840 1.7755 1.7650
Further gains were seen above the 4-hour Pivot Cloud and also the 1.8095 resistance area. Schaff Trend Cycle continued at 100 while FXS-RSI rallied into overbought territory but is now declining. We continue to prefer to retain our bearish stance with the next stalling point at 1.7650 but must allow for a deeper correction higher to 1.8180-95. However a direct loss of 1.7925 confirms further losses.
Bullish: The pullback higher has been slightly stronger than expected and have reached 1.8143. Although it is possible that this may have formed a cap for the Pound until 1.7925 is broken we must allow for a deeper pullback to 1.8180-95 and if this breaks then 1.8280-00 becomes favored.
Bearish: We do still maintain a longer term bearish view but have been disappointed by the deeper than expected pullback. However, while 1.8180-95 holds and a break is seen of 1.7925 we would then look for losses to move down towards 1.7660 at least and possibly lower.

Resistance: 1.8300 1.8605 1.8875 1.9025
Support: 1.7650 1.7165 1.6905 1.6565
The move lower has met with a choppy start but we feel that we should now see losses resume and expect to see progress to the next support at 1.7650 this week. From there we should see a correction develop but the coming 4-6 weeks looks bearish towards 1.7165.
