The Pound Sterling extended its losses versus the Greenback on Monday, losses of some 0.06% as traders remain risk averse due to European political uncertainty. That and a Bank of England’s (BoE) monetary policy decision looming would likely keep the major consolidated. The GBP/USD trades at 1.2675 after hitting a daily high of 1.2688.
From a technical standpoint, the GBP/USD is neutral to downward biased, even though price action is above the daily moving averages (DMAs). Momentum shifted in favor of sellers, which according to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) are gathering traction as it turns bearish.
Once the GBP/USD dived below 1.2700 on further weakness, opened the door for additional losses. The next support would be last week’s low of 1.2656, followed by the 100-DMA at 1.2646, ahead of the 50-DMA at 1.2612. A breach of the latter will expose the 200-DMA at 1.2548.
Conversely, if traders want a bullish continuation, they must lift the GBP/USD above a broken support trendline that turned resistance at around 1.2720/40 before testing 1.2750.
