On the daily chart, GBP/USD has recovered from the low made on August 20 at 1.3602 and travelled to touch the 1.3900 mark for the first time in the past month.
Technically speaking, if price breaks the session’s low and the ascending trendline from the mentioned lower level, it could test the 1.3750 horizontal support level.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator trades near the midline. Any downtick in the MACD could bring more selling opportunities.
That said, GBP/USD bears would like to test the low made on September 8 at 1.3726 followed by the 1.3680 horizontal support level.
Alternatively, if price moves higher, GBP/USD bulls would first reclaim the 1.3850 horizontal resistance zone.
On the successful test of the above level, the market participants would be encouraged to recapture Friday’s high of 1.3888 and then move forward to take out the previous day’s high at 1.3913.
