Forecast for GBP/USD on July 19, 2022

The British pound showed a good growth (at the moment by 170 points) on Monday, and by now it has rolled back more than half of this growth. As a result, the wedge-shaped formation was transformed into a longer one - built on extremes, which in the current situation shows the British currency's dependence on American players.

The British nature of the development of an exchange instrument is seen through its opening and closing.

Data on the construction of new homes in the US for June will be released today, the forecast is 1.58 million y/y against 1.54 million y/y in May, and this circumstance may put even more pressure on the pound.
