FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for August 28, 2023

Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has broken below very important support level located at 1.2590 and extends the sell-off towards the 1.2547. The weak and negative momentum on H4 time frame chart hit the extremely oversold market conditions as well, so the market is ready for a bounce. Only a strong reversal and a breakout back above the level of 1.2615 would change the short-term bearish outlook, otherwise the price might just bounce up and down in a whipsaw mode for some time. Reversal confirmation comes with the violation of 50 and 100 MA levels.
