Looking ahead on Monday, GBPUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above week low of 1.22170.
For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of week high of 1.24229 or at least consolidates above Weekly Pivot level of 1.23243. On the downside, we are looking at week low 1.22170 or 1.22257 (WS1) as immediate support level. GBPUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A break above 1.24229 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
