GBP/USD Price Forecast: Rebounds above 1.2700 on risk-on mood
- GBP/USD climbs above 1.2700 as risk sentiment improves.
- Technical outlook: Neutral to bearish; key support at August 6 low (1.2672) and 200-DMA (1.2651).
- For bullish momentum, GBP/USD needs to hold above 1.2700 and aim for 50-DMA at 1.2785 and the 1.2800 mark.
The Pound Sterling bounced off daily/weekly lows and rose above the 1.2700 figure on Wednesday as risk appetite improved after a Bank of Japan (BoJ) official commented the BoJ wouldn’t raise rates amid market instability. Therefore, the GBP/USD trades at 1.2720 after touching a low of 1.2680.
GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD is neutral to bearishly biased after diving below the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 1.2785. Sellers piercing of the latter sounded buyers’ alarms, which entered below the 1.2700 mark, yet remained in the backfoot as the Greenback strengthened.
The August 6th low at 1.2672 could be tested if GBP/USD slips under 1.2700, and losses could be deeper if it slumps beneath the 200-DMA at 1.2651.
Conversely, if buyers keep the GBP/USD above 1.2700 and lift the spot price toward the 50-DMA, that could exacerbate a test of the 1.2800 mark.
