GBP/USD outlook on February 3, 2023

The GBP/USD pair managed to correct into the medium-term bull market zone amid a weak U.S. dollar, rising above the key levels 1.2140 (200 EMA on the daily chart), 1.2240 (50 EMA on the weekly chart).

Despite the corrective growth (since the end of September), below the key resistance levels 1.2730 (144 EMA on the weekly chart), 1.2900 (200 EMA on the weekly chart), the long-term and global downward trend of the pair persists, making short positions still preferable.

A consecutive breakdown of support levels 1.2140, 1.2055 (144 EMA on the daily chart) will return the GBP/USD to the long-term bear market zone, sending it towards the September lows near the 1.0400 mark. The first signal to open short positions may be a breakdown of the important short-term support level 1.2223 (200 EMA on the 4-hour chart), and the confirmation signal may be the local support level (and yesterday's low) 1.2182.

Growth targets are key resistance levels 1.2730, 1.2900.
