Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for December 27, 2021

Technical Market Outlook

The GBP/USD pair has broken through the 61% Fibonacci retracement level seen at 1.3380, made a new local high at the level of 1.3436 and is currently consolidating the recent gains in a narrow range. The next target for bulls is seen at the level of 1.3471 and then at the swing top located at 1.3515. The strong and positive momentum support the short-term bullish outlook for GBP, however, the market conditions are now extremely overbought on the H4 time frame chart, so a pull-back towards the level of 1.3371 is welcome.
