  • GBP/USD is losing steam at the start of the week.
  • The level to beat for sellers is the 1.2906 support. 

 

GBP/USD daily chart

 
 
In October, the Cable skyrocketed above the main daily simple moving averages (DMAs) and hit levels not seen since mid-May 2019. Bulls need a daily close above the 1.3000 figure and the October high at the 1.3013 level. 
 
 

GBP/USD four-hour chart

 
 
GBP/USD is trading above the 1.2900 figure and its main SMAs on the four-hour chart, suggesting a bullish bias in the medium term. However, the market formed a double top with the October highs. For buyers, a break of the 1.2989 resistance is necessary to open the doors to gains towards the 1.3024 level and the 1.3100 handle.
