FX.co ★ Technical Analysis of GBP/USD for May 7, 2021

Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has been trading in a narrow range for all the trading week. The recent bounce from the level of 1.3797 was very shallow and stopped in the middle of the consolidation zone. The momentum is no longer strong and positive and it oscillates around the neutral level of 50 as the volatility dries up on the market. The local technical support is located at the level of 1.3807. Any violation of the swing high at the level of 1.4007 will open the road towards the level of 1.4080 as a next target for bulls.

Trading Recommendations:

The GBP/USD pair keeps developing the up trend and bulls are back inside the main ascending channel. The recent top was made at the level of 1.4224 and this was the higher high in over two years. All the local corrections should be used to open a buy orders as long as the level of 1.2674 is not broken. The long-term target for bulls is seen at the level of 1.4374.
