Pound Sterling Price News and Forecast: GBP/USD maintains below the psychological barrier of 1.2700


GBP/USD Price Analysis: Improves to near 1.2700 followed by the monthly high

GBP/USD recovers its recent gains, trading higher near 1.2690 during the Asian session on Wednesday. The psychological level at 1.2700 appears as the immediate resistance followed by the weekly high of 1.2747 aligned with the major barrier at 1.2750. A breakthrough above the major barrier could influence the GBP/USD pair to revisit the monthly high at 1.2785 followed by the psychological level at 1.2800.

On the downside, the GBP/USD pair could find support at the major level 1.2650 aligned with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 1.2648. A break below the latter could lead the pair to test the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.2632 before the psychological support at 1.2600 level. If the pair moves below the psychological support, it could approach the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 1.2532. Read more...
