GBP needs a negative stimulus 10/8/2023

The outlook is unchanged, and the movements of the pound/dollar pair did not change significantly, maintaining the gradual bearish path to the downside. The current movements are witnessing stability near its lowest level during morning trading, around 1.2720.

On the technical side today, the negative crossover signs are still clear on stochastic and support the possibility of a decline, and this comes in conjunction with trading stability below the resistance of the psychological barrier 1.2800, and the most important 1.2830, the 38.20% correction.

We need trading to remain below 1.2720, the 50.0% correction, which constitutes a negative pressure factor on the pair, to target 1.2695 and 1.2620 as official waiting stations as long as trading remains stable below 1.2820.

Only from above, the price’s consolidation above the pivotal resistance 1.2820 invalidates the activation of the bearish scenario completely, and the pair recovers temporarily as we await a retest of 1.2850 & 1.2880.

Note: Today we are awaiting high-impact economic data issued by the US economy, “Consumer Price Index” and “Weekly Unemployment Claims”, and we may witness high price volatility.
