Pounds to Dollars Chart 9 Nov 2009
A significant day yesterday for the pounds to dollar pair on the daily chart, as we finally saw the long awaited breakout above the 1.67 price region, which delineates the upper region of the potential resistance area, which of course now becomes a potential support region for the expected move higher. Whilst this is a positive signal, we did of course see the same price action back in August earlier in the year, when the breakout was eventually confirmed as a false breakout with the pounds to dollars pair breaking down and lower back into the congestion area once again. It is quite possible that we may see the same price action repeated once again this time, with a break and hold above the 1.67 price level, suggesting that this break is real, and not false. With all three moving averages providing good support and with the low of the last few days bouncing off the 9 day moving average, the signs are good, but as always we need to be cautious and wait for the move to develop in due course.
