GBP/USD is making a headway back toward the 29-month high set on Tuesday at 1.3266. The pair is helped by a renewed selling seen in the US Dollar even as risk-off flows dominate, in the aftermath of the disappointing guidance shared by the American AI titan, Nvidia.
The divergent monetary policy outlooks between the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of England (BoE) also remain in favor of the GBP/USD uptrend.
However, the further upside in the pair remains at the mercy of the upcoming second estimate of the US Q2 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the acceptance above the 21-Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the four-hour chart.
The 21-day SMA aligns at 1.3210, where it now wavers. Recapturing the latter is necessary on a four-hourly candlestick closing basis to take on the 1.3250 psychological level.
Fresh buyers will likely emerge above that level, calling for the test of the two-year high of 1.3266 en route to the 1.3300 round figure.
Conversely, a failure to gain a strong foothold above the 21-SMA, sellers will jump back into the game, dragging GBP/USD back toward the 50-SMA at 1.3120.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI), however, points north near 60, suggesting that the recovery mode could extend.
