GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The GBP/USD is forming a ‘bullish harami’ candle pattern, which hints the pair could test the previous day's high of 1.2999, opening the door to test the 1.3000 figure. However, strong resistance lies overhead at the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.2977, which if decisively broken, 1.3000 would be up next.

On further strength, the pair can rise to the current week’s high at 1.3043—the October 30 high—before reaching 1.3100.

If GBP/USD fails to clear the 100-day SMA, a drop toward 1.2900 is on the cards. The next key support is seen at the 200-day SMA at 1.2808.

Oscillators suggests that buyers are gathering momentum, but with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) still far from reaching neutral levels,
