FX.co ★ Forecast for GBP/USD on November 23, 2023

GBP/USD:

Yesterday, the low was 1.2448, which is approximately the trough since September 7th. In general, the support is not weak, as the price lingered on this mark for five days since September. Now the price could break above the level of 1.2524. If the price stays above this mark, the next target could be 1.2645. The brewing divergence between the price and the Marlin oscillator is losing its strength.

Now the signal line of the oscillator takes on a wedge shape. We could witness a bullish breakout from the wedge. On the 4-hour chart, the price turned up from the MACD line. The Marlin oscillator has already moved to the bearish territory, so the price may linger a bit before the resistance at 1.2524.

The UK Manufacturing PMI for November, which will be released today, is forecasted to rise from 44.8 to 45.0. Therefore, the pound has the opportunity to rise, even if it the United States is celebrating a holiday today.
