FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for July 11, 2023

Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has made a new swing high at the level of 1.2886 , so the Double Top price pattern had been invalidated. The old swing high will now act as an intraday technical support located at the level of 1.2848. The momentum is strong and positive, however, the extremely overbought market conditions were hit on the H4 time frame chart, so a pull-back towards the support is on the table. Only a sustained breakout below the moving average dynamic support around 1.2693 would change the outlook to more negative.

Weekly Pivot Points:

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.
