The GBP/USD is trading almost flat as the Asian Pacific session begins. On Wednesday, the GBP/USD closed on a higher note, up by a half percent (0.50%), but fell short of achieving a daily close at 1.2400. Nevertheless, the uptrend remains intact, and the GBP/USD exchanges hands at 1.2392, registering minimal losses of 0.04%.

GBP/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

From a daily chart perspective, the GBP/USD remains upward biased, with sellers failing to drag prices below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.2254. To further extend its uptrend, GBP/USD bulls need to reclaim 1.2443, which would exacerbate a rally towards June’s high of 1.2597, shy of the 1.2600 figure.

Intraday speaking, the GBP/USD is neutral to upward biased. After breaking above a downslope resistance trendline drawn from January 23 highs, broken around 1.2370/75, opened the door to challenge the 1.2400 mark. Nonetheless, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) slope is aiming downward, which suggests that a pullback to the daily pivot point level at 1.2363 is on the cards. Following that, the GBP/USD might print a leg up towards 1.2400, followed by the R1 daily pivot at 1.2440, followed by the R2 pivot at 1.2483.

GBP/USD slides below 1.3250 after failing to break through 23.6% Fibo

The GBP/USD pair meets with a fresh supply during the Asian session on Wednesday and moves away from a nearly two-week high around the 1.3275 region, touched the previous day. Spot prices currently trade around the 1.3235 zone, down 0.20% for the day, as traders look to speeches from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh for a fresh impetus.

EUR/USD keeps losses near 1.1400 ahead of Eurozone inflation data

EUR/USD keeps the offered tone intact near 1.1400 in early Europe on Wednesday, pressured by receding bets for aggressive tightening by the European Central Bank (ECB). Traders will take more cues from the preliminary reading of the Eurozone's Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices and the US Manufacturing PMI report due later in the day.

Gold sticks to bearish bias below $4,000 amid Fed hike bets and Iran risks

Gold attracts fresh sellers following the previous day's good two-way price swings, and weakens further below the $4,000 psychological mark through the Asian session. This marks the third straight day of a slide and keeps the precious metal closer to its lowest level since November 2025. Moreover, a bullish US Dollar suggests that the path of least resistance for the bullion is to the downside.

Solana: Retail confidence backs SOL testing 50-day EMA breakout near $75

Solana price extends gains, testing the 50-day Exponential Moving Average around $75.00. Although institutional demand for Solana remains weak, stabilizing retail confidence, with rising funding rates and steady Open Interest, supports the mild recovery.
