FX.co ★ Trading Signal for GBP/USD for April 02 - 05, 2021: Strong Resistance 1.3850

The GBP / USD pair, prior to the release of non-farm payroll (NFP) on 4-hour charts, is trading above the 21 SMA and below the resistance of 1.3850, and within the uptrend channel.

At the time of writing, the GBP / USD is trading at 1.3830, having failed to break above the 1.3850 level, this level acts as a strong resistance, below this level a correction of the pair is expected.

Above 1.3850, we expect there to be upward momentum to the 1.3894 resistance, 200 EMA zone and Murray's 2/8, at this level we recommend selling with targets at 1.3793.

The eagle indicator in 4-hour charts is showing an overbought signal and a correction of the GBP / USD pair is imminent in the next few hours.

On the other hand, immediate support is expected at 1.3790, level of the SMA of 21 and 1/8 Murray, this zone could give the pair a technical rebound, if it consolidates above this level it could again challenge the zone of 1.3894.

Our recommendation is to buy a bounce on the 1/8 Murray around 1.3793, or if there is a pullback sell at the 200 EMA around 1.3890.
