17.03.202308:59 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for March 17, 2023

Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has bounced from the 100 and 50 MA levels around 1.2020 at the H4 time frame chart and is currently approaching the last swing high seen at the level of 1.2202. The bulls had violated the level of 1.2135 which was acting as a technical resistance, but only a sustained breakout above this level means termination of the down trend and possible rally higher. On the other hand, in a case of a further extension to the downside, the next target for bears is seen at the level of 1.1935 and 1.1802 (swing low), but first the bears need to break back down below 100 and 50 MA again.

Weekly Pivot Points:

WR3 - 1.22774

WR2 - 1.21904

WR1 - 1.21531

Weekly Pivot - 1.21034

WS1 - 1.20661

WS2 - 1.20164

WS3 - 1.19294

Trading Outlook:

So far the level of 1.2443 was too strong resistance to break through, so a potential Double Top price pattern is still in play. Moreover, the level of 1.2297 which is 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last big wave down had been hit, so the bears resumed the down trend. The down trend was confirmed with the level of 1.2089 breakout (50 WMA), so now the potential target for bears is seen at the level of 1.1840 or below.
