As GBP demand comes strong, it seems like it could break the current area sooner or later.
Fundamentals: - UK implemented "Plan B" last year for their preparation for Omicron breakout and it seems to be really effective. It took them a hit at the time it was implemented as investors feared it will have a huge impact to their economy, but upon recovery, it played well with GBP - Inflation rate is healthy - Interest rates will be increased soon within Q1 - US recorded 1M cases today (Jan. 5), this will surely take a toll to this currency - Strong opening for the year with USD, however, PMI data of US seems to be worse than before
Technicals: - GBPUSD entering a strong supply area. The pair is reacting but with a minimal pullback from 38.2% fib - Huge volume came in on Dec. 24, but after this day, marked its 1st breakout - Looks like it is forming a reverse head and shoulder pattern. It could go down up to 1.34 area, for a healthy pull back, then break out the 1.358-1.36 area - Otherwise, it can make it way to 1.37
Summary: - Good for medium to long term hold
Position: - Long
