Technical stars are aligning for sterling
Aug 9 (Reuters) -A broader based recovery is on the cards for sterling as charts warn of a bullish direction change.
The daily and weekly GBP/USD, EUR/GBP and GBP/JPY charts are showing potential for sterling gains following a four/five-week period of weakness.
For GBP/USD back-to-back long lower weekly candle shadows and a bounce off the weekly kijun line, 1.2672, tie in nicely with a bullish engulfing line on the daily chart. The daily action bounced off the 200-day moving average, 1.2661, and is now challenging the 10-day average at 1.2776.
EUR/GBP recorded a key day reversal Thursday. The market made a new trend high, 0.8624, but closed near the session low and below the previous close. Early Friday trade sees the cross drop back under the 200-day moving average, currently 0.8557. Demand fade is highlighted by a long upper candle shadow on the weekly chart.
Following a five-week slide GBP/JPY based at 180.88 this week and formed a hammer candlestick, warning of a potential reversal. Weekly action also failed to maintain a break into the Ichimoku cloud with the cloud top now supporting at 184.43.
Next week's sterling performance would need to confirm this week's bullish signals but heading into the end of this week the technical outlook looks more favourable.
