What can we expect from GBPUSD for the new week and what happened on Friday?
GBPUSD on Friday dropped -0.61% to 1.24470. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising. For the week ending 2023-06-02, the pair rose 0.84% or 103.4 pips higher.
Looking ahead on Monday, GBPUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above week low of 1.23260.
For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of week high of 1.25444 or at least consolidates above Weekly Pivot level of 1.24391. On the downside, we are looking at week low 1.23260 or 1.23339 (WS1) as immediate support level. GBPUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A break above 1.25444 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
For the month of June, GBPUSD is up by 0.07% or 8.9 pips higher.
