GBP/USD DAILY PRICE CHART (June 1 – Nov 7, 2019) Zoomed IN

From the daily chart, we notice on Monday GBP/USD tested the high end of current trading zone 1.2785 – 1.2965. The price failed for the third time to rally to the higher trading zone as buyers took profit at this stage. This could weaken current momentum and press the pair towards the low end of the zone.

A close below the low end could break the deadlock and motivate sellers to lead GBPUSD towards 1.2550. Yet, the weekly support levels underlined on the chart should be watched closely.

On the flip -side, we notice at present GBPUSD creates a bullish rectangle pattern.Therefore, if the price closes on the opposite side, i.e. above the high end of the zone, this suggests buyers may push towards 1.3150. Although, the weekly resistance area and levels marked on the chart should be kept in focus.

Looking at the four-hour chart, we notice today GBP/USD has tested the uptrend line originated form the Nov 8 Low at 1.2768.

Thus, a break below 1.2866 could send GBPUSD towards the low end of current trading zone discussed above on the daily chart. Nevertheless, the daily support level underscored on the chart should be considered. In turn, a break above 1.2989 could lead GBPUSD towards 1.3028. However, the weekly resistance level underlined on the chart would be worth monitoring
