Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has made a new swing low at the level of 1.2051, so the levels of 1.2109 and 1.2119 will now act as the technical resistance. The key technical resistance is still located at the level of 1.2271 and only a strong and sustained breakout above this level would change the current situation to more bullish. Please notice, that despite the possible pull-back, the mid-term outlook remains bearish due to the Bearish Cross of 50 and 100 DMA on the daily time frame chart and the momentum on the H4 time frame is still weak and negative.

Weekly Pivot Points:

WR3 - 1.22283

WR2 - 1.22075

WR1 - 1.21985

Weekly Pivot - 1.21867

WS1 - 1.21777

WS2 - 1.21659

WS3 - 1.21451

Trading Outlook:

The bulls were rejected at the key technical resistance located at the level of 1.3163 and a breakout above this level is needed to extend the up trend towards the last Weekly swing high seen at 1.4248. The weekly time frame chart shows the Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern was made during the breakout attempt above the 1.3163, so now the bears are in charge of the market. Any sustained breakout below the technical support seen at the level of 1.1802 would dramatically increase the chances of another leg down towards the level of 1.1494.
