Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for August 14, 2023

Technical Market Outlook:

The bears are still in control of GBP/USD as the market continues the consolidation around the 50 MA on the H4 time frame chart. The bears managed to make another low at the level of 1.2665, so in a case of a breakout lower, the traders should pay attention to the intraday technical support seen at 1.2620 as it is up next for the test. The next target for bears is seen at the level of 1.2590, which is the key short-term technical support level. The weak and negative momentum on the H4 time frame chart supports the short-term bearish outlook for GBP. Only a strong reversal and a breakout above the local supply zone located between the levels of 1.2762 - 1.2797 would change the short-term bearish outlook. Reversal confirmation comes with the level of 1.2803 breakout (100 MA).

Weekly Pivot - 1.2692

WS2 - 1.26507

WS3 - 1.26094

Trading Outlook:

The bulls keep continuing the up trend towards the key technical resistance located at the level of 1.3163 and a breakout above this level is needed to extend the up trend towards the last Weekly swing high seen at 1.4248. Only a sustained breakout blow the technical support seen at the level of 1.1775 would change the outlook to bearish.
