The downtrend from $1.281 eased after the U.S. Dollar hit the 23.6% Fibonacci at $1.269.

The technical indicators in the GBP/USD 4-hour chart suggest the uptrend will likely resume.
- The awesome oscillator value is -0.001 and rising. This climb in the AO’s green bar means the bullish momentum strengthens.
- The relative strength index flipped above the 50 line, signaling the bullish trend gains momentum.

GBPUSD Forecast – 12-June-2024

As explained earlier, the primary trend is bullish because the price is above the 23.65 Fibonacci and the SMA 100. The immediate support is the lower line of the flag at approximately $1.272.
From a technical standpoint, if the GBP/USD bulls maintain a position above the immediate support, the pullback that began at $1.269 will likely target June’s all-time high at $1.281. Furthermore, if the buying pressure exceeds $1.269, the road to March’s all-time peak at $1.289 could be paved.
The 23.6% Fibonacci at $1.269 supports the bullish scenario, and as long as this level is maintained, the uptrend remains valid.
Bearish Scenario
The immediate support is at $1.272. If the GBP/USD price dips below $1.272, the decline can extend to the 23.6% Fibonacci at $1.269. Furthermore, if the price crosses below $1.269, the next bearish target could be the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $1.261.
