The GBP/USD begins the North American session down by over 0.30% on Monday as traders trim the chances of a 50-basis point Fed interest rate cut in ten days. At the time of writing, the pair trades at 1.3075 after reaching a high of 1.3143.
The GBP/USD has fallen below the 1.3100 mark, though the uptrend remains intact unless sellers grab the pair below the July 17 high of 1.3044, which could open the door for a deeper pullback.
Momentum suggests further downside. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is about to punch below its neutral line, which could spark a sell-off. Therefore, in the short term, the path of least resistance is tilted to the downside.
The first support for GBP/USD would be the July 17 peak turned support, followed by the 1.3000 figure. Further losses are seen beneath that level, with the 50-day moving average (DMA) emerging as the potential line of defense for buyers at 1.2933, ahead of 1.2900.
For a bullish continuation, GBP/USD buyers must reclaim last week's peak at 1.3239.
