FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for February 11, 2022

Technical Market Outlook

The second attempt to rally above the level of 1.3627 had been capped after the Bearish Engulfing pattern was made again at the H4 time frame chart. The volatility has increased and the market is trading out of the narrow intraday range seen between the levels of 1.3523 - 1.3537. The breakout above the short-term trend line resistance is a positive signal of the bullish strength, so after the test of the trend line (around the level of 1.3475) the up move might be continued. If the bears push down harder below the trend line support, the next target is seen at the level of 1.3460 and 1.3428.

Weekly Pivot Points:

WR3 - 1.3889

WR2 - 1.3758

WR1 - 1.3647

Weekly Pivot - 1.3514

WS1 - 1.3404

WS2 - 1.3278

WS3 - 1.3169

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.
