GBP/USD Update – 21/09/2017 (12:00pm) – by Arjun Lakhanpal

September 21, 2017 GBP/USD Update – 21/09/2017 (12:00pm): GBP/USD has been rejected from critical medium term resistance at 1.3622/70, which represents a double Fibo and the 2014-2017 downtrend. Given the convergence of resistance here we would expect this to continue to hold the initial test and provoke some profit taking. However currently the intraday Elliott wave counts are positive….

September 21, 2017 USD/CAD Update – 21/09/2017 (11:30am): While the near-term retracement continues to develop, the downside risks are intact in line with the corrective bias and the impulsive breakdown below important trend line support from the 2012 low at 1.2359.

September 21, 2017 NZD/USD Update – 21/09/2017 (11:20am): While yesterday’s break above the short-term range action raises the risk of additional upside, note that the next line of key resistance has held in so far as the overall downside risks are intact.
