GBP/USD Technical Analysis: ticking higher in Asia, but 4H bear RSI divergence is still valid


The GBP/USD pair is currently trading at 1.3086, having hit a low of 1.3056 earlier today. The uptick, however, could run into offers as the bearish divergence of the RSI on the 4-hour chart is still valid.

4-hour chart

  • As seen above, the RSI began charting lower highs as opposed to higher high in price (bearish divergence) on Jan. 23. That bearish signal would be invalidated only above 1.3218.
  • The 5- and 10-candle MAs produced a bear crossover earlier today and are now trending south.
  • The RSI is now reporting bearish conditions below 50.00.
  • As a result, the 50-candle MA support, currently at 1.3029, could come into play during the day ahead.
