Just after one candlestick at H1 chart, it had a bearish  breakdown by 30 pips. Then another candlestick reversed the breakdown by  31 pips. After the fast-tracked turnaround, the pair consolidated at 15  pips higher. Resistance is measured at 1.5889 while support is at  1.5473. The latter was just quantified at the previous session as it had  broken the 2-week support by 50 pips. During yesterday&#8217;s trade, the  GBPUSD made some dramatic movements as it consolidated at 13  candlesticks in H1 chart then it suddenly collapsed into a bearish  momentum. It tried to go back but only reached 38.2 percent Fibonacci  retracement of the breakout. Meanwhile, the Alligator indicator seems to  pursue a downtrend as it opened its mouth after the sudden collapse  yesterday. However, at H1 chart today, the lips and the teeth are  gradually becoming closer and that can possibly lead to making the  alligator fall asleep. A snoozing alligator means no trend; volatility  must not be set high as chances are it can have a reversal. In the  interim, %R (14) is approaching the neutral level. At the time of  writing, the indicator is valued at -36.55. Anyhow, despite slight  hesitations of a bearish trend, it is still suggested to sell the pair  as the Greenback is getting its strength from reports of them having a  strong economy.<\/p>\n<p>American Session Outlook<\/p>\n<p>In the previous  trading session, the US dollar had a series of bullish breakouts against  its European currency pairs. The trade started in favor of the rival  legal tender then after 8-12 candlesticks at H1 chart, the trend had a  bullish reversal. This intense U-turn may have been brought about the EU  Economic Summit that occurred that day. At the summit, it was  highlighted that EU banks face an extra \u00a380bn of bad debts. As expected,  investors turned out to their currency haven. At the end of the trading  session, the Greenback augmented 42, 110, 60 pips against Swissie,  Sterling, and Fiber respectively.<\/p>\n<p>For today&#8217;s session, the US  dollar may expect another bullish sentiment as conjectures say that the  Treasury Currency Report will be released today. Previous statement by  the Department of Treasury discussed about their decision to stop short  of branding China a currency manipulator. With that, the USD trade  against Asian currencies had a minor bullish breakout. For the awaited  statement, traders are expecting that the Treasury Department will speak  about the tax cuts. The tax cuts are foreseen to spur the US economy.  This agreement spearheaded by President Barack Obama is probably to  oppose forecast that 2010 deficit is nearly at 10 percent of GDP.  Deficit may be slightly lower than last year but it suggests that the  economy will take more time to recover. Anyhow, if Treasury Currency  report will be released today, chances are the Greenback will sky-rocket  again.<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Forex Signs, Inc., Founded in 2006 in Wall Street, New  York City, FSI relentlessly strives to be the premier Forex brokerage  company in the industry by providing exclusive and unmatched trading and  investment related services while constantly developing innovative  solutions that cater to the vast requirements of both individual and  institutional market participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At today&#8217;s trading session, the GBPUSD pair kicked off at 1.5518 price level.
