UK Sterling (GBP) chart analysis

I refer to my previous post made end of June where I warned that I would go long the UK Sterling if it breaks out above 1.6600.

This precisely occurred last Friday. And GBP/USD is now trading at 1.6937 !

I buy the ETF CurrencyShares British Pound (ticker: FXB) at 169.15.
Stop loss: 164$
