GBP/USD Price Forecast: Resistance appears at 1.3300, near nine-day EMA
- GBP/USD may find the initial support at the descending channel’s lower boundary around 1.3180.
- The 14-day Relative Strength Index remains below the 50 level, reinforcing the bearish bias.
- The initial barrier appears at the nine-day EMA of 1.3332.
The GBP/USD pair moves sideways after registering more than 0.5% gains in the previous day, trading around 1.3280 during the Asian hours on Monday. The bearish bias prevails as the daily chart’s technical analysis suggests that the pair moves downwards within the descending channel pattern.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains below the 50 level, strengthening the bearish bias. However, the GBP/USD pair is positioned below the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), suggesting the short-term price momentum is weakening.
On the downside, the GBP/USD pair could find the primary support at the lower boundary of the descending channel around 1.3180, followed by the four-month low of 1.3139, which was recorded on May 12.
The GBP/USD pair may target the immediate barrier at the nine-day EMA of 1.3332, followed by the 50-day EMA at 1.3432. A break above these levels would improve the short- and medium-term price momentum and support the pair to test the descending channel’s upper boundary around 1.3520. Further advances may lead the pair to approach 1.3788, the highest since October 2021, which was recorded on July 1.
