The GBPUSD currency pair on the Daily Chart has been in an uptrend since 18 May 2020 when it registered the low price at 1.20734, followed by a series of higher tops and higher bottoms. On 3 June 2020, the GBPUSD currency pair recorded the high price of 1.26104. Its current price is 1.88% higher than last week’s close, after a sharp rise in price after a period of heavy buying.

Technical Analysis

When applying Oscillator Analysis to the price chart, one can see that price is trading above the SMA 60 period Moving Average line, a fact which confirms the Sterling’s upward direction.

Furthermore, the Moving Average/Convergence Divergence (MACD) Oscillator is recording values above the zero line which hints to the bullish bias of the financial instrument.

Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) Oscillator registers values above the fifty line which indicates positive sentiment. All three technical indicators are in agreement with regards to the upward bias of the pair.

Fibonacci

Three price targets may be calculated upon applying the Fibonacci tool to the price chart.

  • The first price target is estimated at 1.23789 (161.8%).
  • The second price target is seen at 1.25137 (261.8%).
  • The third price target is projected at 1.27318 (423.6%).

While the first target and the second have already been breached, the Pound is currently trading above the uptrend line. The presence of the Long White Body hints at further potential to the upside.

Of course, supply and demand as well as the crowd sentiment will determine the future course of Pound.
