Finance news GBPUSD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Despite extending its gains, the GBP/USD remains biased downward, unless buyers lift the pair above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 1.2503 and above the January 7 peak of 1.2576. Once that happens, the market would be in equilibrium, but with momentum skewed to the upside.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests that buyers are gathering momentum in the short term.
For a bearish continuation, the GBP/USD must drop below February 3 high of 1.2436, which would pave the way for challenging 1.2400. On further weakness the next support would be April 22, 2024 swing low of 1.2299.
