GBPUSD Chart by TradingView

What can we expect from GBPUSD today?

GBPUSD on Wednesday rose 0.4% to 1.22650. Price is above 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is in overbought zone.

Updated daily direction for GBPUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above 1.22031 (S1).

Looking ahead today, to see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of last daily high of 1.23347 or trades above daily pivot 1.22689. While to the downside, the daily low of 1.22070 and 1.22031 (S1) as immediate support levels. GBPUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A break above 1.23347 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
