GBP/USD

Over the past day, the situation for the British pound has not changed, especially according to indicators. On the daily chart, the Marlin oscillator is approaching the boundary with the growth territory. From this boundary, the zero line, there may be a downward turn, but there may also be a signal overcoming it with a subsequent increase in the price to the magnetic point at 1.2230, where the price channel lines and the Fibonacci level of 223.6% converge. This can happen after the price consolidates above the Fibonacci level of 238.2% (1.2154). Today the CBI balance of production orders in the UK for the current month will be published, the forecast is -25 versus -34 in July, this could be a reason for the pound to grow.

On the four-hour chart, the Marlin maintains indications of a rising trend; the price is reliably above the balance lines and MACD. The advantage is on the side of the rising scenario.

On the other hand, upon reaching the Fibonacci level of 238.2%, the correction may be completed. A sign of this will be price consolidation under yesterday's low, below 1.2104. Then we expect the pound to decline in the range of 1.2032/50, formed by the Fibonacci level of 261.8% and the MACD line on H4.
