- GBP/USD rallies to a four-day high of 1.2667, trading at 1.2646 at the time of writing, up 0.64% daily.
- Bulls need to reclaim 1.2700 to target the 200-day SMA at 1.2818, while a break above could shift the bias upward.
- On the downside, a move below 1.2600 could see the pair test the November 22 low of 1.2486, with further support at the year-to-date low of 1.2299.
The Pound Sterling rallied to a four-day peak against the US Dollar at 1.2667 as market participants shrugged off Trump’s tariffs threats, which sparked a flight to safety on Tuesday. At the time of writing, the GBP/USD trades at 1.2646, above its opening price by 0.64%.
GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD remains biased downward despite recovering the psychological figure of 1.2600. Bulls must reclaim 1.2700 to test the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.2818. If those levels are cleared, the bias could shift upwards.
For a bearish continuation, if GBP/USD drops below 1.2600, bears could drive the exchange rate toward the November 22 swing low of 1.2486. A breach of the latter will expose the year-to-date (YTD) low of 1.2299.
Oscillators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) signals buyers’ recovery. However, bears remain in charge as the RSI remains below the neutral line.
