GBP/USD breaks its three-day losing streak, trading around 1.2640 during the early European hours on Monday. The daily chart analysis shows an ongoing bearish bias as the pair is confined within the descending channel pattern.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned below the 50 level, strengthening the bearish sentiment. Additionally, the GBP/USD pair falls below the nine- and 14-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which indicates that the short-term price momentum is weaker, signaling the potential for continued price weakness.
On the downside, the GBP/USD pair may navigate the region around its four-week low of 1.2487, which was recorded on November 22. A break below this level could strengthen the bearish bias and put downward pressure on the pair to approach the lower boundary of the descending channel, aligned with its yearly low at 1.2299, reached on April 22.
The GBP/USD pair may find initial resistance around the descending channel's upper boundary, aligned with the nine-day EMA at the 1.2684 level. A break above this level could weaken the bearish sentiment and support the pair to explore the area around its five-week high of 1.2811 level, marked on December 6.
