FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for October 19, 2022

Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has been seen moving away from the level of 1.1410 after the CPI data beat the expectations. The intraday technical support is seen at the level of 1.1224 and 1.1161. Please notice there is still wave C waiting to develop to the upside as the ABC corrective cycle hasn't been completed yet, however any breakout below the level of 1.0923 will invalidate the ABC corrective cycle scenario. The momentum is neutral and the bears are trying to break into the negative territory, so please watch the technical support level for any sign of weakness.

Trading Outlook:

The bears are still in charge of Cable and the next long-term target for them is the parity level. The level of 1.0351 has not been tested since 1985, so the down trend is strong, however, the market is extremely oversold on longer time frames already. In order to terminate the down trend, bulls need to break above the level of 1.2275 (swing high from August 10th).
