The GBP/USD pair holds steady after gains in the previous session, hovering around 1.2950 during Friday’s Asian trading hours. The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests a sustained bullish outlook, with the pair consolidating within an ascending channel pattern.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stays above 50, signaling strong bullish momentum. Furthermore, the GBP/USD pair rebounds above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), reinforcing a bullish outlook for short-term price movement.
The GBP/USD pair may encounter initial resistance near the four-month high of 1.3014, recorded on March 20. A continued advance could strengthen the bullish bias, potentially driving the pair toward the ascending channel’s upper boundary around 1.3210.
On the downside, the nine-day EMA at 1.2936 serves as the immediate support, followed by the ascending channel’s lower boundary near 1.2880. A break below this critical zone could weaken short-term price momentum, with the 50-day EMA at 1.2752 acting as the next key support. A further decline below this level may erode the medium-term bullish outlook, potentially pushing the pair toward the two-month low of 1.2249, recorded on February 3.
