GBP/USD

The pound has reached an important support level from the embedded line of the global descending price channel. The brewing convergence with the Marlin oscillator on the daily chart warns of a price reversal which indicates a deep correction, possibly towards the range of 1.2799-1.2814, i.e. to the MACD indicator line.

According to the Fibonacci retracement, such a correction would be 50.0%. If the price reaches the support at 1.2447 and turns around, the Fibonacci levels will also be corrective in nature, marking the lows of August 3 and 14 at 23.6%. Once we confirm that the price has settled below 1.2447, we can consider 1.2307 as a target.

On the 4-hour chart, the price is rhythmically declining below the indicator lines, and the Marlin oscillator is developing in a descending channel but already shows an intention to leave this area by moving upwards. Yesterday's decline was caused by Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey's speech in Parliament, where he mentioned that the end of the interest rate hiking cycle was now close. However, markets still expect the last rate hike in early 2024, and such sentiment won't hinder corrective growth.
