GBPUSD | Perspective for the new week
Updated
The last year closed on a sour note for the British pound as hopes of a significant recovery during the last quarter diminished to close at the 1.21000 zone. In this video, we looked at the chart from a technical standpoint where we identified a simple structure within the 1.21000 and 1.20200 zone as price action transitioned into a reversal pattern on the 4H timeframe hereby presenting us with bullish opportunities in the new week. And as all eyes focus on the first NFP of the year coming up this week, we shall not ignore the option of a bearish move if price actions break below the 1.20200 level.

Pardon my late update as I have been on the road since morning hence missing out on that bearish move that dropped below the 1.21000 level and congrats to those who took advantage of this move.The year has started on a bearish tone as sell pressure resumed below the 1.21000 level. Following the bearish impulsive leg, the price is caught within a tight channel between 1.20530 and 1.20450 in the last 16 hours to emphasize a level of indecision ongoing. From a technical standpoint, the current structure has a strong tendency to transition into a bearish rectangle pattern where a breakdown/retest of the 1.0450 might incite another wave of bearish momentum. However, if the price does a breakout/retest of the 1.20530 level - a bullish momentum will be considered.

Participants look forward to the macroeconomic events today (FOMC Minutes and ISM Manufacturing PMI(Dec) ) and we are beginning to witness the reflection of the anticipation on the charts. A bullish trendline is identified as price action continues to find higher lows to signify the existence of bullish pressure in the last 24 hours hereby taking out the sell position(s). So, the breakout/retest of the 1.20450 level shall be our yardstick for buying opportunities today and the option of selling opportunities will resume if a breakdown/retest of the trendline happens.Good morning
Note
So, with the continued sell pressure at 1.20800 in the last 11 hours and coupled with the anticipation of the FOMC releasing the minutes of the December policy meeting 30 minutes from now; there is a high chance that the British Pound will drop hereby breaking down the bullish trendline and 1.20450 area. Please note that a breakout of 1.20800 still holds bullish opportunities.
