The Pound Sterling advanced modestly against the US Dollar on Thursday after economic data showed that factory inflation in the United States (US) was a tick higher than foreseen. That and a softer US jobs report weighed on the buck. The GBP/USD trades at 1.3078 after hitting a daily low of 1.3031.
After diving to a three-week low of 1.3001, the GBP/USD bounced off and sat within the mid 1.3000-1.3100 range after UK economic data showed the economy is cooling.
Momentum shows buyers stepping into the market as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which, at the brisk of turning bearish, made a U-turn, aiming up.
If bulls want to regain control, they must reclaim the September 11 peak of 1.3111. This would expose the current week's peak at 1.3143, followed by 1.3200.
Conversely for a bearish continuation, if GBP/USD tumbles below 1.3000, the first support would be the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 1.2953. On further weakness, the next stop would be the August 13 high turned support at 1.2872, ahead of challenging 1.2810, the 100-DMA.
