FX.co ★ Daily review of GBP / USD pair on 18.05.18. Ichimoku Indicator

GBP / USD pair

The strength of the support levels (the first target benchmark is 1.3516 + monthly Kijun 1.3502) continues to hold the pair in its zone of influence, but do not allow to work out the daily target by 100% (1.3424). The lines of the day cross diverged a considerable distance, while the day Tenkan (1.3533) descended into the zone of inhibition and consolidation, taking a horizontal position. Chikou on the daily chart is approaching the zone of maximum vertical removal. As a result, the expectation of a full-fledged corrective recovery is now more important than a full-scale continuation of the downward trend. Today, we close the week so, perhaps, the activity of players on the rise will be observed only from the next working week. Closing Friday above the supports (1,3502-16-33) may provoke the future retest of the punched levels on the weekly gold cross (1.3640 - 1.3780 - 1.3920). Lower timeframes now also express uncertainty, having the bulk of its elements Ichimoku in the area of 1.3502-33. fastening above the zone and the breakdown of the H4 cloud (1.3562-33) will change the existing balance of forces. It will also allow us to consider new upward guidance points. The closest reference point will be the upward target for the breakdown of the H4 cloud, which will lead the pair to the area of the first resistance of the upper halves at 1.3640 (weekly Fibo Kijun + monthly Tenkan).
