The GBP/USD advanced steadily for the fifth straight day and is eyeing the 1.3100 figure after data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) revealed that the US economy added 800K fewer Americans to the workforce. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 1.308 and gains 0.42%.
The GBP/USD uptrend remains intact after bouncing off the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 1.2809 on August 15. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows momentum favoring buyers, though the pair could consolidate soon as the RSI approaches overbought levels.
If GBP/USD climbs above 1.3100, the next stop would be the t 2023 peak at 1.3142. On further strength, the next stop would be 1.3200.
Conversely, if GBP/USD retreats below the July 17 high of 1.3044, that would pave the way for a pullback. The psychological 1.3000 figure would be the next support, followed by the August 13 high at 1.2872.
