What can we expect from GBPUSD today?
GBPUSD on Wednesday rose 0.06% to 1.2027. Price is below 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is rising.
Updated daily direction for GBPUSD looks mixed as the pair is likely to consolidate above 1.19642 (S1).
Looking ahead today, we are looking at 1.2143 or 1.20893 (R1) as important resistance level while to the downside, the daily low of 1.1964 and 1.19642 (S1) as key support levels. GBPUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A break above 1.2089 would suggest bullish bias after recent positive movement.
For the week to-date, take note that GBPUSD is mixed as the current price action remain uncertain due to trader indecisiveness.
