GBPUSD - Drops Through Key 1.32 Level as Brexit Faces Crucial Votes

on March 8, 2019 | By Stuart McPhee | GBPUSD, Brexit

The last week or so has seen the GBPUSD fall sharply from an eight month high back down below the key level of 1.32. The few weeks prior were significant as the sterling moved so strongly breaking through the key level for the first time in many months on its way to the eight month high. The fact that the 1.32 level didn’t provide much support may be telling as this level may now well provide some resistance should the sterling attempt to rally higher.

on March 7, 2019 | By Stuart McPhee | USDCAD

In the last week the USDCAD has surged higher to its highest levels in two months above the key 1.34 level. Up until recently the USDCAD was being ably supported by another key level in 1.32 however it has given way a little in the last month or so. This level however has remained the baseline for its price action in the last two months. If the USDCAD can remain above the 1.34 level, it may find support there as this level has provided its fair share of resistance to the currency pair in the last few months.

What a difference a week can make. Only a couple of weeks ago gold was cruising along pushing to new nine month highs on the back of solid support from the key $1300 level. In the last week gold has crashed lower pushing through any possible support at the $1300 level and moving to its lowest levels in six weeks, which will be significant as this level may now offer some resistance should it attempt to rally higher.
