Trading recommendations for the GBP/USD pair on October 23

The GBP / USD pair, after rising sharply on October 21, reached the local high of 1.3175, relative to which a correction arose, which returned the overheated quote to the level of 1.3080.

This technical correction is exactly what the pound needs amid its overbought status, because if we look at the dynamics, we will see that the market is not really active, and that it was speculation that drove the pound into rising.

Should we expect a new local high soon? Probably.

Speculators have already set the pace that no one is confused anymore why the pound is rising despite many problems in the UK.

The market will remain in control of speculative positions, to which information noise will become a lever for.

So, if we look at the M15 chart and analyze the trades set up yesterday, we will see that the main trading volume fell during the European session, so as a result, a low activity of only 81 points was recorded.

To add to that, as discussed in the previous review, traders were already waiting for a technical correction towards 1.3080, which really happened in the market.

With regard to news, a rather good data was published on the US labor market, and this is a decrease in jobless claims. According to the report, repeated applications decreased from 10,018,000 to 9,397,000, while initial applications fell from 898,000 to 840,000. This recovery in the US labor market had a positive effect on the US dollar.

Meanwhile, today, data on UK retail sales was released, the figure of which grew from 2.7% to 4.7%, against the forecast of 3.7%. This growth in consumer activity had a positive effect on the British pound.

However, after that, preliminary data in UK business activity was published, which indicated a decline in the indicators.

Services PMI: Prev - 56.1 ---> Forecast - 52.3

Manufacturing PMI: Prev - 54.1 ---> Forecast - 53.3

In the afternoon, a similar data for the United States will be published, but here, the forecasts are practically the same as their previous levels.

Services PMI: Prev - 54.6 ---> Forecast - 54.6

Manufacturing PMI: Prev - 53.2 ---> Forecast - 53.4

Further development

As we can see on the daily chart, activity surged in the GBP / USD pair during the European session, which led to a local move towards 1.3100. However, after that, price returned again to its previous level.

If the quote continues to concentrate at the level of 1.3080, a short-term flat may occur on the pair. But if it consolidates below 1.3055, the pound will move down to the psychological level of 1.3000.

Indicator analysis

Looking at the different sectors of time frames (TF), we can see that the indicators on the minute and hourly periods signal BUY due to the quote stopping at the local high, whereas the daily period is signaling BUY because of the general upward move of the British pound in the market.
