GBP/USD Price Forecast: Slips below 1.3000 on risk aversion
- GBP/USD begins the week down, struggling to hold above 1.3000.
- Sellers eye key support at last week’s low of 1.2973, with further downside targets at the 100-DMA and the 200-DMA, each at 1.2959 and 1.2796.
- Buyers must reclaim 1.3100 to challenge the 50-DMA at 1.3133 and aim for the YTD high of 1.3434.

GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD begins the week on the back foot after opening at around 1.3039. Since then, the pair hit a 1.3057 high before sliding beneath the 1.3000 mark.
Momentum suggests that sellers are in charge, as portrayed by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). However, they must clear last week’s low of 1.2973 before challenging the 100-day moving average (DMA) at 1.2959, aiming to push prices toward the 200-DMA at 1.2796.
On the other hand, buyers must lift the GBP/USD spot price above 1.3100 so they can test the 50-DMA at 1.3133 as they prepare to challenge the year-to-date (YTD) high at 1.3434.
