What can we expect from GBPUSD for the new week and what happened on Friday?
GBPUSD on Friday dropped -0.32% to 1.30890. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling in overbought zone. For the week ending 2023-07-14, the pair rose 1.97% or 253 pips higher.
Looking ahead on Monday, GBPUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above week low of 1.27502.
As for the new week, our technical outlook looks bullish, immediate upside resistance level at 1.32373 (WR1) with break above could target 1.33857 (WR2). On the downside, we are looking at week low of 1.27502 as an important support. Break below this level could weaken the current bullish momentum. A break above 1.31421 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
For the month of July, GBPUSD is up by 3.12% or 396.2 pips higher.
