GBP/USD Price Forecast: Clings to 1.3200 in sideways trading
2024.08.26 23:54
2024.08.26 23:54
- Exhaustion signals as GBP/USD stalls after a 400-pip rally, with RSI indicating overbought conditions.
- A daily close below 1.3200 could trigger a pullback, with support levels at 1.3130, 1.3100, and further down at 1.3043.
- If the pair breaks above 1.3230, resistance levels to watch are 1.3250 and the psychological 1.3300 mark.
The Pound Sterling begins the week on a positive note, yet remains hovering around the 1.3200 figure, unable to break last Friday new year-to-date (YTD) high of 1.3230, and trades at 1.3204 almost flat.
GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Exhaustion is the name of the game for the GBP/USD. After achieving a 400-pip run that started on August 15th, the pair has failed to extend its gains after hitting a multi-year peak at 1.3230. Today's price action is forming a 'doji,' which indicates indecision amongst buyers and sellers.
Momentum shows buyers are losing steam as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains overbought. Therefore, if the GBP/USD achieves a daily close below 1.3200, that could pave the way for a deeper pullback.
In that outcome, the first support would be the August 22 high at 1.3130 before the pair slides to 1.3100. In further weakness, the GBP/USD might hit 1.3043, and July's 17 daily high turned support.
On the other hand, if GBP/USD rises past 1.3230, the next resistance would be 1.3250, followed by the 1.3300 mark.
