Early in the American session, the British Pound (GBP/USD) was trading around 1.2036 bouncing after having reached the 200 EMA located at 1.2017. It is expected that in the next few hours, it will continue to bounce and could reach the zone of 1.2070 and even the 1.2124 weekly maximum.

A daily close below the 200 EMA could signify a bearish continuation and the price could reach 5/8 Murray at 1.1962. It is a key level as below this zone, the British pound could trigger a bearish acceleration and reach 4/8 Murray at 1.1718.

According to the 4-hour chart, we can see that the eagle indicator is giving a positive signal. Supported by our technical tool we could conclude that any rebound toward the 1.2000 zone will be considered an opportunity to buy.

The GBP/USD technical outlook suggests that buyers remain hesitant to take large trading volumes. A daily close above 1.2050 could mean an advance in the recovery of the British pound and it could approach the resistance of 1.2207 (6/8 Murray) in the coming days.

In case the pair stabilizes above 1.2045 (21 SMA and bearish channel top) and this level is established as support, it could target 1.2094 which represents the weekly pivot point. A close above this level on 4-hour charts could launch a new bullish sequence and open the door to a prolonged bounce towards 1.2170 (R_2 daily) and up to 1.2207 (6/8Murray).

Our trading plan for the next few hours is to buy the British pound above 1.2020 with targets of 1.2070 at 1.2207. If GBP/USD breaks below 1.2000, we should avoid buying. The eagle indicator is giving a positive signal which supports our bullish strategy.

GBPUSD up and down. Back down testing 61.8% and swing area.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
