GBP/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD has consolidated at around 1.2800-1.2890 during the last four days, with neither buyers nor sellers committing to a position amid risks on both sides of the Atlantic, with the Fed and the Bank of England’s decisions.
Consequently, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is flat at its neutral line, underscoring the abovementioned, but the GBP/USD fall from yearly highs to current spot prices hints that bears are lurking.
If GBP/USD drops below 1.2800, it would expose key support levels like the July 9 low at 1.2778 and the psychological 1.2750. A further downside is seen at the 100-day moving average (DMA) at 1.2682.
On the other hand, key resistance lies at the July 29 peak at 1.2888, followed by 1.2900.
