FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for June 19, 2023

Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has hit 61% Fibonacci retracement level on the weekly time frame chart located at 1.2778. This is the line in sand for bears as any breakout higher would be considered even more bullish. So far the monthly high was made at the level of 1.2847, but it does not mean it will hold all week. On the lower time frames, like H4, the intraday technical support is seen at the level of 1.2809 and 1.2767. The strong and positive momentum on the H4 time frame chart supports the short-term bullish outlook for GBP, but due to the extremely overbought market conditions on the H4 time frame chart, the market might pull- back soon.

Trading Outlook:

The 61% Fibonacci retracement located at the level of 1.2778 has been hit, but it does not indicate the corrective cycle to the upside had been terminated. Any sustained breakout above this level and a weekly candle close above it is needed to change the long-term outlook to bullish. The key long term level of technical support is seen at 1.2444. The next long-term target for bulls is seen at the level of 1.3160.
