GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD downtrend remains intact, and it could be threatened if buyers clear the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.2818. Sellers must clear the November 28 daily low of 1.2644 before extending their drop to 1.2600. A breach of the latter will expose the latest major support at 1.2486, the November 22 swing low, followed by the current year’s low of 1.2299.
Conversely, if GBP/USD clears the 1.2700 figure, the first resistance would be the 1.2800 figure, followed by the 200-day SMA at 1.2818. Once those two levels are surpassed, it would emerge 1.2900 and the 50-day SMA as next key resistance at 1.2943.
The momentum remains bearish, as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which aims to be lower at the beginning of December.
