GBP/USD Price Forecast: Reaches fresh three-month highs above 1.3550

  • GBP/USD hit a fresh three-month high of 1.3562 on Tuesday.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index is near overbought, signaling possible consolidation before the trend resumes.
  • The initial support lies at the nine-day EMA of 1.3496.

GBP/USD extends its gains for the second successive session, trading around 1.3560 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a persistent bullish bias. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) reached 69.29, near overbought. If the RSI extends into overbought territory, the pair could consolidate before resuming the trend.

The GBP/USD pair holds above a rising nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 50-day EMA, sustaining a bullish bias. The short-term average remains above the medium-term gauge, keeping upside pressure.

The GBP/USD pair hit a fresh three-month high of 1.3562 during early Asian hours. Further gains could lead the pair to target the six-month high of 1.3726, followed by the 1.3788, the highest level since October 2021.

Momentum stays firm with price action anchored above the ascending averages, yet stretched conditions could cap the next leg. The GBP/USD pair could find immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 1.3496, followed by the 50-day EMA at 1.3375. A break below the medium-term average would put downward pressure on the pair to navigate the region around the eight-month low of 1.3010.

AUD/USD sticks to positive bias above 0.7100; lacks bullish conviction

AUD/USD trades with a positive bias for the second straight day, holding above 0.7100 in the Asian session on Friday as softer US bond yields keep US Dollar bulls on the back foot. Furthermore, hawkish RBA Governor Bullock's comments boost rate hike bets and support the Aussie. However, the Fed's hawkish outlook, along with geopolitical uncertainties, limits USD losses and caps the pair.

USD/JPY approaches 158.00 as Japanese Yen resumes decline

USD/JPY is resuming its upside in the European session on Friday, refreshing two-week highs and nearing 158.00. The Japanese Yen extends losses, despite the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) expected rate hike to 1.25% and hawkish Governor Ueda's comments, as two surprise dissents against the rate hike weigh on it.

Gold keeps the bid tone in place; still below $4,400

Gold adds to the optimism seen in the second half of the week, trading with decent gains just below the $4,400 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal’s advance finds traction in declining crude oil prices and fresh selling pressure on the US Dollar.

BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The BoJ raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks. Governor Kazuo Ueda said the policy phase had changed.
