GBP/USD MIXED FEELINGS
In the past update, I mentioned that if the price goes above the 1.29818, a long position has to be taken into consideration.
However, if the price breaks the 1.28215 on the downside, then it will continue to drop until the other levels that I marked at the beginning of August.
For now, all the price levels have been touched.
GBP/USD is trading below the 200-day moving average, which is a bearish signal. However, the price is also trading above the 50-day moving average, which is a bullish signal. This suggests that the market is currently in a state of indecision, and it is possible that the pair could break out of this range in either direction in the near term.
Wait to see how the price develops in the near future before going Long or Short.
My personal belief is that the price will soon start to correct on the upside, however, I will be waiting for more market evidences.
From a fundamental perspective, there are a few factors that could influence the GBP/USD in the near term. First, the Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points on Thursday, which could provide some support for the pound. However, the UK economy is still facing headwinds from Brexit and the war in Ukraine, so it is possible that the pound could weaken if these risks continue to weigh on sentiment.
Overall, the outlook for the GBP/USD is uncertain in the near term. The pair is trading in a narrow range, and it is unclear which direction it will break out of this range. The fundamental factors are mixed, with the Bank of England rate hike being a positive for the pound, but the UK economy facing headwinds from Brexit and the war in Ukraine. The technical indicators are also mixed, with the 200-day moving average being a bearish signal, but the 50-day moving average being a bullish signal.
