GBP / USD Technical Analysis Dec 1

Will the buyers lead the GBPUSD at 1.2529?

The GBPUSD after rising from 1.2384 to 1.2529 has now stabilized slightly below today’s major pivot point area, the 1.2529 zone.

Stochastic oscillator’s formation shows a pattern of a steady rise at the 70 level where the pair is expected to retrace to the upside.

Probable Scenario

In the condition where the pair breaks above the 1.2529 level and the bullish pressures get more tensed, the price could appreciate to the 1.2618 zone.

Should the buyers gain control, then such a continuation confirms their profitable upside attempts since the 28th of November 2016.
