British Pound Price Chart– GBP/USD Daily

Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; GBP/USD on TradingView

The British Pound is testing Fibonacci resistance for a fifth consecutive-day at the 78.6% retracement of the 2021 decline at 1.3414- looking for a breakout of this multi-day consolidation for guidance here with the immediate rally vulnerable while below.

A topside breach exposes the 2019 high at 1.3515 and the 1.36-handle. Initial support rests with the August high-day close (HDC) / 2021 low-week close (LWC) at 1.3260/73 with broader bullish invalidation now raised to 1.3091.

Gold Price Chart – XAU/USD Weekly

Chart Prepared by Michael Boutros, Sr. Technical Strategist; XAU/USD on TradingView

Gold held below a key resistance pivot into the close last week at 2643/71- a region defined by the 100% extension of the 2015 advance, the 1.618% extension of the June advance, and a host of short & long-term slope considerations. Bottom line- looking for a possible inflection off this mark into the start of the month with the immediate rally vulnerable while below.  

Initial weekly support back at 2516/24 with broader bullish invalidation steady at the May high near 2450- losses should be limited to this level IF gold prices are heading higher on this stretch. A topside breach / close above this 2671 would keep the focus on subsequent resistance objectives at 2743 and the 2.618% extension of the 2022 range at 2804.
