FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

GBP/USD has struggled to extend rebound beyond 1.3050. As FXstreet’s Eren Sengezer notes, technicals reveal a lack of recovery momentum.

Buyers are yet to control cable's action

“The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator on the four-hour chart stays near 40 and GBP/USD continues to trade below the 20-period SMA, suggesting that buyers are yet to control the pair's action.”

“1.3000 (psychological level, static level) aligns as significant support and additional losses toward 1.2920 (static level) could be witnessed in case this level turns into resistance.”

“Resistances are located at 1.3050 (static level, 20-period SMA), 1.3100 (psychological level, static level) and 1.3150 (static level, 50-period SMA).”
