- GBP/USD gains for a second consecutive day, influenced by halted US tariffs on Mexico and Canada.
- Technical stance remains bearish unless GBP/USD surpasses 1.2503 SMA and 1.2576 resistance.
- Sellers need to breach 1.2436 to reignite bearish momentum, potentially targeting lower supports.
The Pound Sterling (GBP) post gains versus the US Dollar (USD) for the second straight day after US President Donald Trump tariff threats on Mexico and Canada were delayed, due to negotiations beginning between the parties, aimed to improve fighting against fentanyl traffic and illegal migration. The GBP/USD trades at 1.2476 up 0.62%.
GBPUSD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Despite extending its gains, the GBP/USD remains biased downward, unless buyers lift the pair above the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 1.2503 and above the January 7 peak of 1.2576. Once that happens, the market would be in equilibrium, but with momentum skewed to the upside.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests that buyers are gathering momentum in the short term.
For a bearish continuation, the GBP/USD must drop below February 3 high of 1.2436, which would pave the way for challenging 1.2400. On further weakness the next support would be April 22, 2024 swing low of 1.2299.
