- GBP/USD tumbles 0.14% due to disappointing UK employment data.
- Technical outlook shows neutral bias with momentum fading, consolidating between 1.2687-1.2750.

GBP/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
From a daily chart perspective, the GBP/USD remains neutral-biased, consolidating at around 1.2687-1.2750 ahead of Wednesday's Federal Reserve monetary policy decision. Momentum suggests that buying pressure is fading, according to the Relative Strength Index (RSI), with sellers gathering traction.
Therefore, the Fed’s hawkish tilted hold decision could push the GBP/USD below the current week’s low of 1.2687, followed by the confluence of the 100-day moving average (DMA) and May 3 cycle high turned support at 1.2643/37, before diving to 1.2600.
On the flip side, if buyers lift the exchange rate past 1.2750, a challenge of the 1.2800 figure is on the cards.
