GBP/USD Price Analysis: Sellers look for entry below 100-day EMA

  • GBP/USD remains under 21-day EMA, 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.
  • A confluence of 200-day EMA, 50% Fibonacci retracement will be the key.

GBP/USD clings to 1.3000 during Thursday’s Asian session. The pair failed to extend its recovery beyond 21-day EMA  the previous day, not to forget its current stand under 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of October-December upside.

With this, the quote is likely to remain under pressure towards a 100-day EMA level of 1.2925. However, pair’s further declines could challenge a support confluence around 1.2850 that includes 200-day EMA and 50% Fibonacci retracement.

In a case where the bears dominate below 1.2850, November 2019 low near 1.2770 will be on their radars.

On the upside break of the 21-day EMA level of 1.3055, short-term buyers could target 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, at 1.3200.

Also, the pair’s sustained rise beyond 1.3200 will take aim at December 31, 2019 top of 1.3285 prior to targeting the December month’s high of 1.3516.
