GBP/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD remains downward biased despite registering an upward impulse that lifted the exchange rate from yearly lows of 1.2299 to April’s high of 1.2569. the advance was capped by strong resistance provided by the 200-day moving average (DMA) at 1.2552, triggering a two-candle bearish formation – bearish harami. This pattern needs a confirmation past the April 29 low of 1.2474, which would exacerbate a test of the latest swing low of 1.2299.
On the other hand, if buyers achieve a daily close above 1.2500, subsequent gains are seen if they challenge the 200-DMA. Once surpassed, the next stop would be the 1.2600 mark
