Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for August 20, 2021

Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has made another lower low at the level of 1.3607 as the down trend continues despite the extremely oversold market conditions. The next target for bears is a technical support located at 1.3565. The key short-term technical support is the low from June 20th seen at the level of 1.3571. The key technical resistance is still seen at the level of 1.3785 and only a sustained breakout above the upper channel line seen around 1.3910 would change the outlook to more bullish.

Trading Outlook:

The weekly time frame chart still shows, that the up trend is still intact and the corrective wave had terminated at the level of 1.3571. Only a sustained violation of the level of 1.3518 would trigger a bigger down move than a regular pull-back. The up trend can be continued towards the next long-term target located at the level of 1.4246 (high from 24.02.2021).
