GBP/USD Price Forecast: Weakens and drops below 1.3400 as USD recovers

update 2024.09.26 00:02

  • GBP/USD drops to 1.3389 from a yearly high of 1.3429 as the US Dollar strengthens.
  • Pullback to the top of an ascending channel at 1.3363 may offer buying opportunities, with RSI still favoring buyers.
  • Maintaining above 1.3363 could push GBP/USD to retest the yearly high of 1.3429 and aim for 1.3437, 1.3450, and 1.3500.
  • Falling below 1.3363 might lead to testing the week's low at 1.3248 and further support at the September 19 low of 1.3153.

The Pound Sterling lost some steam against the US Dollar in early trading during Wednesday's North American session after hitting a yearly peak of 1.3429. The GBP/USD trades at 1.3389, down 0.18%, as the Greenback recovers some ground.

GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

From a technical standpoint, the GBP/USD pullback toward the top of an ascending channel at 1.3363 opened the door for further buying, as seen by price action.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hints that buyers remain in charge. However, in the short term, the GBP/USD might print another leg-up before resuming its rally, which could put the March 1, 2022, peak at 1.3437 to the test.

If GBP/USD remains above 1.3363, this could pave the way to challenge the current yearly high of 1.3429. On further strength, that will expose 1.3437, followed by the 1.3450 figure, ahead of 1.3500.

Conversely, if the pair slumps past 1.3363, it could hit the current week's low of 1.3248. On further weakness, the bulls' following line of defense will be the September 19 daily low of 1.3153.
