FX.co ★ Forecast for GBP/USD on February 18, 2020

GBP/USD

The British pound fell 40 points on Monday. The price did not struggle with the resistance of the Fibonacci level of 76.4% (in fact, this is the correction level of 23.6%, since the Fibonacci retracement is upside down), and currently the signal line of the Marlin oscillator is in the decreasing trend zone, in the zone of negative values.

The 1.2845 target at the reaction level of 110.0% is open, but there is a condition on the chart of a smaller scale.

The price should overcome the MACD line on H4, below the level of 1.2968. The Marlin Oscillator is in the decreasing trend zone, which greatly increases the likelihood of successfully breaking support.

In addition, employment in the UK should be published today. An increase in applications for unemployment benefits in January is expected to be from 15 thousand to 23 thousand, the average level of wages including premiums for December is expected to be 3.0% against 3.2% earlier. The overall unemployment rate is so far projected unchanged at 3.8%. We are waiting for the pound to fall to the designated target. The second target 1.2758 is the Fibonacci level of 123.6%.
