Cable currently riding wave B ( triangle) of a larger retracement A-B-C
Chart posted on 23.09.2021

The pound sterling is hovering near its one-month low around 1.3620 ahead of FOMC and BOE monetary policy meetings. The pound met with some fresh supply in the zone 1.3670-80 which could be a key resistance in the near term followed by 1.3800.

 

On the technical side, GBPUSD appears to be moving in a consolidation zone. As per Elliott wave principle, it appears that GBPUSD is currently riding a wave B ( triangle) of a corrective move A-B-C which could put more pressure to the downside in the near term.

 

A break  and close of 1.3600 opens the door towards 1.3100 in the medium term. A breach of wave A of triangle  (1.3980) invalidates the move and can be bullish in the medium term.
