GBP / USD Technical Analysis Nov 7

Will the buyers lead the GBPUSD at 1.2462?

The GBPUSD after rising from 1.2281 to 1.2550 has now stabilized slightly below today’s major pivot point area, the 1.2462 zone.

Stochastic oscillator’s formation shows a pattern of a steady rise at the 35 level where the pair is expected to retrace to the upside.

Probable Scenario

In the condition where the pair breaks above the 1.2462 level and the bullish pressures get more tensed, the price could appreciate to the 1.2581 zone.

Should the buyers gain control, then such a continuation confirms their profitable upside attempts since the 2nd of November 2016.
