Daily chart: The GBPUSD pair remains above the 200-day moving average and slowly is approaching to the resistance at the 1.5795 level. It is very possible that in today’s session, GBPUSD touches resistance at 1.5795. If the cable breaks that resistance, it would be expected to rise to the level of 1.5883. On the other hand, if GBPUSD makes a bearish rebound to the level of 1.5795, it is expected to fall to the level of support 1.5642. If the pair manages to break this support (which is unlikely), it would be expected to fall to the level of 1.5506. The MACD indicator is in positive territory but is showing signs of overbought in this pair.

H4 chart: GBPUSD continues to consolidate support above the level of 1.5675 and still exists the possibility that this pair rises to the resistance level of 1.5826. On the other hand, if GBPUSD achieves in breaking the bullish trend lines that are below the level of support 1.5675, it is expected to drop to the level of 1.5604.

Within this range, it has formed a Point of Control (POC) near the 1.5705 level, which can serve as support in this pair, but we must be aware of how you react in this cable POC. If GBPUSD manages to break the resistance at the 1.5739 level, it is expected to rise to the level of 1.5810, a free zone for the cable to strengthen its current bullish trend. On the other hand, if GBPUSD breaks the support at the level of 1.5686, it is expected to drop to the level of 1.5632. The MACD indicator is in neutral territory but we must consider that GBPUSD remains above the 200-day moving average, so our bullish outlook remains.
