FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for January 24, 2022

Technical Market Outlook

The GBP/USD pair has been seen moving lower at the beginning of the trading week and is currently testing the technical support at the level of 1.3531. Any violation of this level will open the road towards 1.3516 and 1.3471. The key technical support is seen at the level of 1.3428. The momentum is weak and negative, but the market conditions on the H4 time frame chart are bouncing from the extremely oversold conditions, so the test of the nearest technical resistance located at 1.3572 is in view. On the larger time frame charts, like daily and weekly, the up trend is still being continued.

Weekly Pivot Points:

WR3 - 1.3781

WR2 - 1.3725

WR1 - 1.3618

Weekly Pivot - 1.3581

WS1 - 1.3476

WS2 - 1.3437

WS3 - 1.3329

Trading Outlook:

The up trend is being continued, but the up move might be terminated due to the Shooting Star candlestick pattern made at the daily time frame chart at the level of 1.3717. The overall move from the level of 1.3170 looks like a V-shape reversal pattern, so in the long-term the trend might be about to change from the multi-month down trend to the up trend. Please keep an eye on the level of 1.3500, because any sustained breakout below this level will change the outlook back to the bearish again.
