FX.co ★ Forecast for GBP/USD on January 15, 2024

GBP/USD

Pound, consolidating above the level of 1.2745, closed the day 2 points higher. However, looking at the fluctuations, this may not be the case, especially since today the pair opened 5 points lower.

The signal line of the Marlin oscillator turned downward, and if the pair overcomes the January 11 low of 1.2689, the balance line could be broken. In this case, GBP/USD will head towards the support level of 1.2610. Overcoming this will push the pair to 1.2524. The MACD line may also head towards this level. After that, pound may bounce from 1.2524 to new yearly highs.

Important economic data for the UK will be released on Wednesday (CPI for December). Until then, do not expect strong movements in the pair.

On the four-hour chart, the pair broke through the MACD line, while the Marlin oscillator fell downward, signaling a short-term decline. Further movement could be towards 1.2689, 1.2657 and 1.2610.
