GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
After diving below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), the GBP/USD turned bearish, carving successive series of lower highs and lower lows and clearing intermediate support at 1.2664, the August 8 daily low. If sellers push the exchange rate below 1.2600, this will exacerbate a drop toward the May 9 swing low of 1.2445, ahead of the yearly low of 1.2299.
Conversely, if GBP/USD rises above 1.2700, this could pave the way for challenging the 200-day SMA at 1.2818. Once cleared, the next stop would be November’s 6 low turned resistance at 1.2833, ahead of 1.2850 and 1.2900.
