8/12/2010 – GBP/USD – Price action on GBP/USD (a 4-hour chart of which is shown) as of Thursday (8/12/2010) has continued this week’s precipitous drop from 1.6000 resistance and has approached key support in the 1.5550 price region once again, establishing close to a two-week low. This also places the pair near the bottom of an uptrend channel extending from the May lows. In the event of a breakdown below both this uptrend channel and the noted 1.5550 support, a further downside support target resides in the 1.5350 price region, which is a previous key support/resistance level.
