The conclusion of a comprehensive analysis is a downward movement.
The overall result of calculating the candle of the GBP/USD currency pair according to the weekly chart: the price of the week will most likely have a downward trend with the absence of the first upper shadow of the weekly black candlestick (Monday - down) and the presence of the second lower shadow (Friday - up).
The first upper goal is to reach the pullback level of 50% - 1.2441 (red dashed line). It is possible to break down this line with the following target of 1.2354 (red dashed line). From this level, growth is possible with the target of 1.2511 - 21 average EMA (black thin line).
An unlikely, but possible scenario: the price will increase with the target of the upper fractal 1.2811 (red dashed line) from a pullback level of 50% - 1.2439 (red dashed line).
