GBP/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
Technically speaking, the GBP/USD is neutral to downward biased, as seen by a successful series of lower and lower lows, dragging the pair from year-to-date (YTD) highs of 1.2894 toward current exchange rates. However, although lagging, the daily moving averages (DMAs) are capping the pair’s downside at around 1.2600, which, once cleared, could pave the way for further downside.
In that event, the GBP/USD next support would be the 200-DMA at 1.2560, followed by 1.2500 ahead of the May 9 cycle low of 1.2445. A breach of the latter will expose the YTD low of 1.2299.
On the other hand, if buyers reclaim 1.2700, the next resistance would be 1.2750. Once hurdle, the next stop would be 1.2800 before challenging the June 12 high of 1.2868
