On May 15, the GBP/USD pair managed to break down the lower limit of the bullish BLUE channel depicted on the chart. Since then, the pair has been moving within the triangle pattern after having a quick bearish swing between 1.6300 and 1.5260.

Price level of 1.5767 which corresponds to the upper limit of the symmetrical triangle, constituted an intraday resistance for the pair as expected.

Recently, the GBP/USD pair has found a significant support at the lower limit of the triangle pattern around 1.5490 showing obvious bullish price action which is manifested in the bullish engulfing daily candlestick which was followed by days of indecision as depicted on the chart.

During the last week, GBP/USD was moving within the bullish 4H channel depicted on the chart after finding support around price level of 1.5490.

On Friday, price level of 1.5577 expressed a significant bullish action pushing the GBP/USD pair higher towards 1.5700 until now.

The upper limit of the depicted channel is located around 1.5730 corresponding to previous tops and constituting a significant intraday Resistance level.

The USD/CAD pair movement was sluggish bearish during the previous days of consolidation which is manifested within the transverse direction of the Yellow & Blue channels depicted on the chart. In fact, still there was no significant price action until Friday when the USD/CAD pair has broken its Resistance level around 0.9920 which was followed by another sluggish movement during this week.

Price zone of 0.9920 was regarded as an intraday Support level for the pair where a BUY entry was suggested yesterday. However, the pair went down towards the lower limit of the Yellow channel around 0.9880 which still constitutes a strong Intraday Support level.

The USD/CAD pair has a significant intraday Resistance level around 0.9900 corresponding to the midline of the Yellow channel which needs to be broken in order to resume the bullish movement aiming at higher targets towards 0.9930 initially.

Bearish breakdown of 0.9880 currently invalidates the bullish scenario.
