Daily chart: GBP/USD has made a rebound in the support level of 1.6540 so that it is trying to climb to the 200-day moving average which is close to the resistance level of 1.6668. If GBP/USD manages to make a breakout at that level, it would be expected to rise to the level of 1.6766, which would be the beginning of a bullish trend in the medium term. The MACD indicator is in negative territory.

H4 chart: This pair has filled the gap that left open this week, so it encountered resistance at the resistance level of 1.6583. Now, the GBP/USD pair could be a breakout at the support level of 1.6553 to fall to the next objective at the level of 1.6464. For now, we recommend caution when placing buy orders at the current levels. The MACD indicator stays in positive territory.

H1 chart: The GBP/USD pair tried to consolidate above the resistance level of 1.6578, but now this pair is making a pullback at current levels. So the GBP/USD may fall to the support level of 1.6544. There, it is likely that this pair will start to form a bearish pattern again. The MACD indicator is in negative territory.

Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place sell (short) orders only if the GBP/USD pair breaks a bearish candlestick; the support level is at 1.6544, take profit is at 1.6507, and stop loss is at 1.6581.
