GBP below resistance 18/1/2024

The British pound exhibited mixed trading dynamics against its American counterpart in the previous trading session, marking its lowest point at 1.2597.

Examining the technical aspects today, a bearish inclination is observed, primarily supported by the price’s stability below the 50-day simple moving average. Additionally, early signs of negativity are emerging on the Stochastic indicator, indicating a gradual loss of its upward momentum.

Persisting below the main resistance level at the current trading levels of 1.2720 maintains the preference for a bearish scenario. The initial target stands at 1.2620, and a breach of this level would potentially extend the pair’s losses, opening the path to 1.2560.

Conversely, an upward crossover with the price consolidating above 1.2720 would invalidate the downside scenario temporarily. In such a scenario, the pair might experience a recovery, with potential retests at 1.2760 and 1.2820 subsequently.

Warning: The associated risk level is high.

A cautionary note is warranted as the risk level is deemed high, underscoring the importance of vigilance in the current market conditions.
