GBP/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
From a technical perspective, the GBP/USD pair has made a significant move. It has broken a downslope resistance trendline that dates to the August 2023 highs. This trendline has now become a support level, following the pair's clearance of the 1.2750 psychological level.
Momentum suggests that buyers could push the exchange rate higher, as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) in bullish territory.
This would put the year-to-date (YTD) high of 1.2893 back into play, and further Cable’s strength could push the pair above 1.2900, with buyers setting their sights on the July 27, 2023, high of 1.2995.
For a bearish continuation, the first support to be taken would be the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 1.2678, followed by the 100-DMA at 1.2650, and the latest cycle low being the Jun 27 low of 1.2612.
