The GBP/USD currency pair has recently seen bullish pressure take control, with bears unable to invalidate the crucial demand/support zone at 1.23823. Over the past two weeks, the 1.25044 supply/resistance level has successfully held, prompting the question: what's next for the GBP/USD pair? To answer this, we'll analyze the daily, 4-hour, and 1-hour candlestick charts.
The daily chart reveals a significant supply/resistance level at 1.26080, near the psychological 1.26000 price level. The bullish trend is evident as long as the 1.25044 level holds, with the price above the 20-day EMA and MACD zero level. Should the 1.25000 zone fail to hold the price, a push down to the nearest demand/support zone at 1.21821 is expected.
Similar bullish trends are observed in the 4-hour and 1-hour charts, with the price trading above the 20-period EMA and MACD zero level. The multiple timeframes support the uptrend, with the next week's price movements being closely watched.
However, the technical outlook for GBP/USD remains uncertain, with market sentiment being the key driver. The range between 1.2350 and 1.2550 offers potential range-bound opportunities, with a daily candle close above or below the range top or bottom being key for bullish continuation or a deeper correction to the downside. Retail traders are currently short on GBP/USD, but a contrarian view suggests a short-term bullish bias.
While no major news is expected for the GBP next week, the USD has several high-impact news events, such as the ISM Manufacturing PMI, JOLTS Job Openings, ADP Non-Farm Employment Change, FOMC Statement, Federal Funds Rate, and Unemployment Rate, among others. These events could potentially affect the GBP/USD pair, making it essential to monitor technical indicators and upcoming news to identify potential shifts in market sentiment.
