The GBP/USD bull signal kicked in late in the U.S. market day on Friday and followed a two-day bearish whipsaw.

The price of the pair has been essentially sideways since July 15.

Today's opening price is well above the Person's upper pivot and in trading rose above the high set in the July 15 rise. However, it quickly retraced to within the July 15 range.

The preceding bear phase carried the price down 0.03%; essentially a wash, and probably a loss once the spreads are accounted for.

Person's Monthly Pivots

• US$1.5477 <== You are here.
• US$1.5266, -1.4% (upper)
• US$1.4825, -4.2% (midline)
• US$1.4021, -9.4% (lower)

The analysis uses the daily Person's Proprietary Signal, developed by John Person, and the monthly Person's Pivot, which he also developed. These are black box signals -- the "proprietary" means that Mr. Person knows how they work under the hood, and I don't. But they have shown a fair degree of success in identifying good entry and exit points, and I find them useful. On the glance, "pps open" means the price at the start of trading in the United States on the day the signal appeared. Disclaimer
