Main Scenario
Consider long positions from corrections above the level of 1.2100 with a target of 1.2764 – 1.2923.
Alternative Scenario
Breakout and consolidation below the level of 1.2100 will allow the pair to continue declining to the levels of 1.1900 – 1.1521.
Analysis
The ascending first wave of larger degree 1 of (A) is presumably formed on the daily chart, and the bearish correction is unfolding as the second wave 2 of (А). Wave a of 2 is formed on the H4 time frame, and the bullish correction has started unfolding as wave b of 2. Apparently, wave (а) of b is developing on the H1 chart. If this assumption is correct, the GBP/USD pair will continue to rise to 1.2764 – 1.2923. The level of 1.2100 is critical in this scenario as a breakout will enable the pair to continue declining to the levels of 1.1900 – 1.1521.
This forecast is based on the Elliott Wave Theory. When developing trading strategies, it is essential to consider fundamental factors, as the market situation can change at any time.
