22.03.202309:18 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for March 22, 2023

Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has made a new swing high at the level of 1.2283 and then the bears started the pull-back. Currently, the pull-back is done with a low at the level of 1.2178 and just ahead of the UK CPI data release the bulls are trying to resume the up trend. The momentum is strong and positive, so the outlook remains bullish as the market conditions are not extremely overbought on the H4 time frame chart anymore. In a case of a further extension to the upside, the next target for bulls is seen at the level of 1.2396 and 1.2447 (swing high).

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.
