Current price is near the black trend line. If it break and close above it, more bull power will be coming up else price might drop back to around 1.5680.

GBPUSD - H4 Chart Analysis

Price really bounced off from 1.5500 as what i have predicted on my previous post due to it strong support level.

I see 2 scenarios at the moment.

1) Price will retest the high of the trading range at 1.5650 (which is previous support turned resistance now). If closed above 1.5650, price might try for 1.5750 or to 1.5780 (50% fibonacci retracement level)

or

2) Price must close below 1.5500 and head south further.

Let's be patience and wait for price to tell us the direction.

p/s Trading range is within the yellow box.
