The GBPUSD pair, popularly called the cable, after setting the all-time minimum in March this year at 1.1400, is moving in a strong upward trend.

Last Friday, August 7, the first signs of a downward correction appeared on the weekly chart after reaching the resistance of the long-term downward channel (1.3190). On the daily chart, MACD started to decrease for the first time in 2 weeks.

When we move on to the hourly chart (below), we notice the characteristic silhouette of the H&S formation. It can be considered that both arms and head were finally shaped. The neck line is marked in green:

The question is whether after reaching the neck line the price will break it, or whether it will turn back and  GBPUSD will return to increases. The possible declines about 180p

It is worthwhile to observe the behaviour of the price in the area of the mentioned neck line and in case of its successful overcoming, try to open Sell positions. The best opportunity would be a possible re-test of the defeated neck line from the bottom.

Don’t forget about fundamentals…
