GBP / USD lacks bullish strength. It made an attempt to break the strong downtrend channel, but failed. At the moment GBP/USD is trading at 1.3326 and could continue its bearish trend until it finds a bottom at 1.3305.
The British pound is trading below the strong downtrend channel formed since October 28 and below the 21 SMA located at 1.3331. In the next few hours, a technical rebound is expected around 5/8 murray located at 1.3305.
Global risk sentiment faces uncertainty, as investors prefer to wait and see if the new variant of the Omicron coronavirus could eventually affect the economic recovery.
As GBP/USD is above the 21 SMA located at 1.3331, we have a good opportunity to buy in the next few hours. On the contrary, if the pound remains below this level, we should expect a technical rebound around 1.3305 and 1.3276.
Our forecast in the next few hours for the British pound is a consolidation above 1.3305. As long as GBP/ USD is trading above this zone, we will have an opportunity to buy with the target at 1.3427. If 6/8 is broken, we could buy with targets at 1.3518 (200 EMA).
