GBP / USD Technical Analysis Oct 24

Is the 1.2133 level, sellers’ opportunity on the GBPUSD?

The GBPUSD has been mostly oscillating, since the 19th of October 2016, within a bearish formation between the range of 1.2331 and 1.2209 respectively.

Both the buyers and the sellers are now placing strong pressures in their attempts of taking control over the pair’s price.

The price is now oscillating slightly above the 1.2133 zone which is today’s major pivot point area.

Probable Scenario

In the condition where the pair stabilizes below the 1.2133 area, the price could be forced to decline to lower zones such as the 1.2011 level.

The Stochastic oscillator also confirms that the price has greater chances to retrace and decline at the 40 level.
