Takes out November high at 1.2673 but fails...
The GBPUSD is correcting back lower after failing on a break of the November high at 1.2673. At the level was also a channel trend line.
ON the break back below the level, the buyers turned to sellers and that selling has continued through the lower channel trend line on the 5 minute chart. The waters are a little more muddy with shorts likely to eye the broken lower trend line as close resistance. Traders short from higher levels (and liking the position) will want to see the 1.2673 level hold.
On the downside, the 50% of the days trading range comes in at 1.2600. The 100 more moving average on the five minute chart (blue line in the chart above) is rising toward that level. If the pair has peaked, that will be the next target to get to and through.
