GBP/USD Price Analysis: Surges past 1.2750 as buyers gain momentum
- GBP/USD rises and surpasses 1.2700 resistance after weak ISM Services PMI.
- Technicals show buyer momentum; RSI remains bullish above 50.
- Resistance levels: 1.2777 (May 27 high), 1.2760/1.2775 (trendline confluence), 1.2800, 1.2860 (June 12 high), 1.2894 (YTD high).
- Support points: 1.2750, 1.2700, 1.2662 (50-DMA), 1.2644 (100-DMA).
The Pound Sterling rallied sharply against the US Dollar following a dismal ISM Services PMI reading, which increased the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will indeed cut rates at least once in 2024. The GBP/USD trades at 1.2772, up 0.69%.
GBP/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD pushed through key resistance seen at 1.2700 and aimed toward a confluence of technical resistance levels, like the May 27 high of 1.2777 and two key resistance trendlines, which confluence at around 1.2760/1.2775.
Momentum favors buyers as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) bullish above the 50-neutral line, with enough room before turning overbought.
For a bullish continuation, the GBP/USD needs to clear 1.2775 so buyers can test 1.2800. A breach of the latter will expose the June 12 high at 1.2860, ahead of the year-to-date (YTD) high of 1.2894.
On further weakness, if GBP/USD drops below 1.2750 the next demand area is seen at 1.2700. Once surpassed, the 50-day moving average (DMA) emerges as first support at 1.2662, followed by the 100-DMA at 1.2644.
