FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for October 30, 2023

Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has been seen continuing the down move towards the Octobers low located at the level of 1.2036. The local low was made at the level of 1.2068 and currently bulls are trying to bounce above the 50 MA seen at 1.2129. The intraday technical resistance is located at 1.2161 and the intraday technical support is seen at 1.2104. The momentum on the H4 time frame chart is weak and negative as well, so the breakout lower might happen any time soon. Please notice, that the mid-term outlook remains bearish due to the Bearish Cross of 50 and 100 DMA on the daily time frame chart.

Weekly Pivot Points:

WR3 - 1.21462

WR2 - 1.21306

WR1 - 1.21244

Weekly Pivot - 1.2115

WS1 - 1.21088

WS2 - 1.20994

WS3 - 1.20838

Trading Outlook:

The weekly time frame chart shows the Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern was made during the breakout attempt above the 1.3163, so the bears are in charge of the market and they are pushing the price lower. The market already trades below 50 and 100 WMA. Any sustained breakout below the key long term technical support seen at the level of 1.1802 would dramatically increase the chances of another leg down towards the level of 1.1494.
