GBP/USD analysis for 23/11/2018:
Today will be the next round of Brexit negotiations. Spain threatened that it would not agree to the agreement if the issue of Gibraltar is not resolved. The country wants to be able to negotiate directly on the territory of dependent Great Britain. On Saturday, Theresa May will fly to Brussels for the last round of talks with the President of the European Commission because on Sunday, the EU leaders will meet, during which an agreement on Brexit is likely to be signed, but of course, there may always be a surprise.
Let's now take a look at the GBP/USD technical picture at the H4 time frame. The market is still trading in a horizontal range between the levels of 1.2882 - 1.2762 despite the recent spike to the level of 1.2928. The market conditions are now oversold and the positive momentum might indicate a bullish attempt to rally higher. The first target for bulls in that situation would be at the level of 1.3047. The nearest technical support is seen at the level of 1.2820. Please notice, that weekend talks may lead to gaps at GBPUSD at the opening night of Sunday to Monday.
