What can we expect from GBPUSD for the new week and what happened on Friday?

GBPUSD on Friday rose 0.9% to 1.20310. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising. For the week ending 2023-03-10, the pair dropped -0.11% or -12.7 pips lower.

Looking ahead on Monday, GBPUSD looks bullish as the pair ended higher after Friday trading session.

For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of week high of 1.21137 or at least consolidates above Weekly Pivot level of 1.19824. On the downside, we are looking at week low 1.18024 or 1.18510 (WS1) as immediate support level. GBPUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A close below week low of 1.18024 would indicate selling pressure.

For the month of March, GBPUSD is up by 0.09% or 11 pips higher.
