What can we expect from GBPUSD for the new week and what happened on Friday?
GBPUSD on Friday dropped -0.55% to 1.27198. Price is below 9-Day EMA while Stochastic is falling. For the week ending 2024-06-07, the pair dropped -0.17% or -21.2 pips lower.
Looking ahead on Monday, GBPUSD looks bearish as the pair posted lower in Friday trading session.
For the new week, our technical outlook is mixed. To see upside interest, we prefer to look at price breakout of week high of 1.28177 or at least consolidates above Weekly Pivot level of 1.27438. On the downside, we are looking at week low 1.26940 or 1.26700 (WS1) as immediate support level. GBPUSD need to break on either side to indicate a short-term bias. A close below week low of 1.26940 would indicate selling pressure.
For the month of June, GBPUSD is down by -0.17% or -21.2 pips lower.
