FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for December 24, 2021

Technical Market Outlook

The GBP/USD pair has broken through the 61% Fibonacci retracement level seen at 1.3380 and made a new local high at the level of 1.3436 (at the time of writing the analysis). 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.

Trading Outlook:

The down trend on a larger time frame charts is being continued, but only a sustained breakout above the level of 1.3514 would improve the outlook to more bullish with a target at 1.4200. 200 WMA had been violated already, so the market is in the down trend with a long-term target located at 1.2668 ( September 2020 lows).
