GBP/USD Price Analysis: Extends losses and approaches 1.2600
- GBP/USD remains heavy as BoE delivers ‘dovish’ hold.
- UK Retail Sales crushed estimates, but PMIs were softer.
- Tested 50-DMA, bounced but remains above 100-DMA, sitting at 1.2638.
The Pound Sterling prolonged its agony and fell for the second straight day after the Bank of England’s decision to hold rates unchanged, signaling that the beginning of the easing cycle is coming. Additionally, mixed UK economic data, with Retail Sales exceeding estimates but flash PMIs softening, hints the economy might be slowing. The GBP/USD trades at 1.2636, down 0.16%.
GBP/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
After diving to its lowest level since May 15 at 1.2621, the GBP/USD trimmed some of its earlier losses yet remains beneath its opening price. Momentum favors sellers, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) aiming downwards and below its 50-neutral line.
That said, a daily close below the May 3 high turned support at 1.2634 would pave the way to test 1.2600. A breach of the latter will expose the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 1.2552. Conversely, further upside would be seen once buyers lift the exchange rate above 1.2700.
