GBP - Weekly/Daily close will be key!
GBPUSD - At a very key resistance, we have NFP today that will shift the market. We did have GDP m/m Bullish 0.3 Higher than expected. I think when it comes to GBP there are very bearish views when it comes to there fundamentals and there rate hikes but I don't think the situation as bad as it's considered. What does this mean and how can we trade this opportunity? Well, we can first wait for daily close and see how we close and perhaps wait for pull back and get in long taking us back towards key resistance areas of 1.21 half areas and target areas 1.23. However, if we are fail to close above we are back within the range until further clarification. Don't forget to check minor pairs such as EURGBP & GBPAUD as commodity FX is lagging there are plenty of trading opportunities, including GB10Y W set up.
Now we do have NFP, if that beats expectation we could get pull back in GBP. However, if it comes out lower than expected NFP I expect dxy to decline and majors to rise. And see how price reacts if it beats expectations and by how much and vice versa - that's what is very key!
Now regarding GBP technical view:
High: 1.21560
Low: 1.18420
Pattern: Wedge/Channel
A break above the highs and 200/50 EMA I expect further bullish momentum and target area of 1.23 areas. If we are to break below of 1.18 handle then 1.15 is still on the table. However, at this current moment of time we are within the ranges and we have to respect that, in addition you could even go to lower time frame of 4hr and get better price!
Trade safe and have a great weekend!
