FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for December 30, 2021

Technical Market Outlook

The GBP/USD pair has been seen moving up towards the Novembers high located at the level of 1.3516. This is the swing high level and any violation of this level would be considered bullish in the near term. The last high was made at the level of 1.3504 and then the Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern was made, so the pull-back towards the short-term trend line support might occur soon. The immediate technical support is seen at the level of 1.3460 and 1.3428. 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).
