Technical levels for GBP/USD
2020-04-23 • Updated
The movement in GBP/USD hasn’t started yet, but it surely will. For now the pair’s consolidating in the 1.2390/1.2295 area. The upside is limited by the short-term resistance line since April 15. Support is provided by the 200-period MA on the H4. A break below it will lead the price down to 1.2170 and 1.2030 (38.2% and 50% of the March-April advance). Above 1.2390 GBP/USD will get a chance to get to 1.2470, although notice that the pair will have to overcome some obstacles on the way there and the decline looks like the primary scenario.
