Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:
GBPUSD
The GBPUSD lost about 170 pips today after Great Britain’s GPD for the last quarter of 2010 fell 0.5 percent; analysts expected a gain of 0.5 percent.
We can see in the chart below that price had previously shown rejection of resistance near 1.6050-1.6100 early last week. Support comes in near 1.5665, there is a good probability price will re-test this support in the near-term given today’s extremely bearish price action.
