RSI oversold leaves scope for a mean-reversion bounce into 1.34522
NY session has driven a clean break of the 100h MA at 1.34522 and the prior swing at 1.34693, with price now extending to a fresh session low at 1.34417. RSI(14) at 21 is deeply oversold on M15 but momentum is one-way; sellers gained traction after USD firmed on US return from Memorial Day and softer Consumer Confidence failed to lift cable.
Support: 1.34417, 1.3446
Resistance: 1.34522, 1.34693
What it said to watch
M15 reclaim of 1.34522 (100h ma) would neutralise the breakdown
Acceptance below 1.34460 swing area opens room toward the next lower handle
RSI sub-20 with stalling price action would flag exhaustion of the leg
NY session has driven a clean break of the 1.34693 shelf and pushed to fresh session lows at 1.34488, with sellers stepping in at every rally toward 1.34808. RSI(14) at 28 shows the move is stretched but momentum still pointing down into the late NY hours.
Support: 1.34488, 1.34565
Resistance: 1.34632, 1.34693, 1.34808
What it said to watch
M15 close back above 1.34693 broken shelf would neutralise the lower-high sequence
Failure to hold 1.34488 session low extends the downtrend toward 1.3440
Reclaim of 1.34632 micro pivot is the first sign of stabilisation
GBPUSD drifted lower through London and accelerated into NY, with sellers breaking 1.34693 and printing a session low at 1.34565 as USD firmed on traders returning from Memorial Day. Bounces have been capped near 1.34830 and the broken pivot at 1.34693 now acts as resistance; RSI(14) at 33 is weak but not yet stretched on M15.
Support: 1.34565, 1.34621
Resistance: 1.34693, 1.3483
What it said to watch
M15 close back above 1.34693 broken pivot would neutralise the lower-low structure
