GBP/USD- Technical Analysis-H4 Chart

The H4 chart shows that the price has been traded around 1.22700. The price reacted at this level several times. Thus, as expected, the level has been working as a resistance. The buyers may wait for the price to make a bullish breakout at the level followed by a bullish reversal pattern right at the breakout level to go long in the pair. A breakout above that level may push the price towards 1.23750.

The chart also shows that it has been obeying a bullish trend line. At the last bounce it produced a bullish engulfing candle. However, the buyers did not look sanguine to push the price towards the upside. The pair may consolidate within the horizontal resistance and trend line’s support for a while. A breakout at the trend line’s support may change the scenario and drive the price towards the last swing low at 1.20500.

Price Action Analysis- H1 Chart

The chart shows that the price has been up trending by obeying a bullish trend line. Upon having a rejection at the last swing high, it made a strong bearish correction. However, trend line’s support holds the price. As of writing, the price has been having consolidation at the trend line’s support. A bullish reversal candle followed by a breakout at the last swing high may attract the buyers to go long in the pair. The price may find its resistance around 1.23330.

On the contrary, if the price makes a bearish breakout at the trend line’s support, the sellers may keep their eyes on the pair to go short. The price may find its support around 1.21620.

The H4 chart looks good for the buyers. The H1 chart still favors the buyers more. Those two trend line’s on the H4 and the H1 hold the key. Considering both charts, it seems that the bull may make the next move from here.
