GBP/USD Weekly Outlook

GBP/USD dropped to 1.3351 last week and break of 1.3410 low confirmed resumption of whole fall from 1.4248. But as a temporary low was formed, initial bias is neutral this week first. Upside of recovery should be limited below 1.3606 resistance to bring another fall. Break of 1.3351 will turn bias back to the downside for 1.3164 fibonacci level.

In the bigger picture, the structure of the fall from 1.4248 suggests that it’s a correction to the up trend from 1.1409 (2020 low) only. While deeper fall cannot be ruled out yet, downside should be contained by 38.2% retracement of 1.1409 to 1.4248 at 1.3164, at least on first attempt, to bring rebound. On the upside, firm break of 1.4376 key resistance (2018 high) will add to the case of long term bullish reversal. However, sustained trading below 1.3164 will revive some medium term bearishness and target 61.8% retracement at 1.2493.

In the longer term picture, a long term bottom should be in place at 1.1409, on bullish convergence condition in monthly MACD. Rise from there would target 38.2% retracement of 2.1161 to 1.1409 at 1.5134. Reaction from there would reveal whether rise from 1.1409 is just a correction, or developing into a long term up trend.
