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

Omkar Godbole FXStreet Contributor

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.
