GBP/USD Weekly Outlook

GBP/USD engaged in sideway trading last week without a clear direction. The supported from 55 day EMA favors more upside near term but break of 1.2614 resistance is at least needed to indicate upside momentum. Overall, price actions from 1.1946 are seen as a corrective pattern and could extend for a while.

Initial bias in GBP/USD remains neutral this week first. On the upside, break of 1.2614 will extend the rise from 1.2108. Overall, price actions from 1.1946 are viewed as a consolidation pattern pattern. Upside should be limited by 1.2705/2774 resistance zone to bring larger down trend resumption eventually. On the downside, below 1.2376 will target 1.2108 support next. Break there will be an early sign of larger down trend resumption.
