FX.co ★ Forecast for GBP/USD on November 9, 2022

The pound has settled above the target level of 1.1500. Were it not for the US election, we would think that the pound is aiming for an upper target of 1.1760, but the clear Democratic hold on the upper house of Congress does not give investors an incentive to continue buying counter-dollar currencies.

The daily Marlin Oscillator is turning down, while being in the positive area. The price is also in a growing position, as it develops above the indicator lines. Therefore, even if the pound plans a reversal, it will not happen immediately. Moreover, for a reversal, the price needs to overcome the support of these very indicator lines (1.1315 - the MACD line). The first sign of this reversal will be the price settling below 1.1500.

On the H4 chart, the MACD line (1.1478) is under the level of 1.1500, so the price needs to settle below this level. An upward movement to the level of 1.1760 is possible with the price surpassing the October 27 high at 1.1644.
