GBP/USD
On Friday, I observed the GBP/USD pair declining further, breaking below the ascending channel amid the nonfarm payrolls backdrop. Since today is a day off, I shifted my focus to the daily timeframe to analyze the price action more closely. I noticed that the price reached the upper moving average (MA) at 1.3516 but failed to break lower, indicating a potential resistance zone. At the same time, I saw that the RSI and stochastic indicators were still pointing downward, reinforcing my view that the pair might continue its bearish momentum. As I prepare for Monday’s trading session, I’ll be watching to see whether the price breaks below the upper MA or rebounds from it. If it reverses upward, I anticipate a potential rally toward the upper Bollinger Band at 1.3649, which could present a buying opportunity. However, I’m also mindful that a breakdown below the MA could signal further downside, possibly targeting the lower MA and middle Bollinger Band around 1.3443/26. I’ll be paying close attention to how the price behaves near these levels to gauge the next move.
