GBP/USD – Technical Analysis- H4 Chart

The chart shows that the price has been gradually heading towards the North. The simple moving average 30 has been working as a support. The chart shows that the price has enough space to continue its move. Thus, the buyers may be interested to go long in the pair and push the price towards the upside further. It may find its next resistance around 1.27600.

On the contrary, if the price breaches the SMA 30, the sellers may take their chances to go short in the pair. In that case, it may find its support around 1.25700. As things stand with the pair, it may take time to happen.

Price Action Analysis- H1 Chart

The chart shows that an up-trending trend line has been pushing the price towards the North. At the last bounce, it produced a bullish engulfing candle and made a move towards the last swing high. However, the price could not breach the swing high. It rather has found its resistance around it. Thus, the buyers may wait for the price to either breach that level or to produce a bullish reversal pattern at the trend line’s support to go long in the pair.

The sellers may skip taking entry based on this chart. Unless, it makes a bearish breakout at the trend line’s support, they may not find any short opportunities with lucrative risk-reward.
