Headwinds Amid Strong US Dollar, Lower BoE Rate Hike Expectation
The GBP/USD pair has experienced an upward bias, reaching a yearly high of 1.3160 and then pulling back to 1.2815, finding support at the 61.80% Fibonacci level at 1.2851. However, the price action formed a spinning-top candle followed by a bearish candle, indicating potential weakness.
The immediate resistance level is around 1.2906, marked by the recent high after the pullback. On the downside, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.2773 serves as a potential support zone.
By entering the trade at approximately 1.2851 and targeting the support level around 1.2773, we aim for a profit of about 78 pips, while our stop loss at 1.2906 limits potential losses if the trade goes against us.
