GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD fall toward the July 17 peak at 1.3044 could exert downward pressure on the pair and pave the way for further losses.
Momentum favors sellers in the short term. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains bullish, though its slope is aiming down and about to turn bearish, which could accelerate Sterling’s fall against the Greenback.
In that scenario, the GBP/USD path of least resistance is tilted to the downside. The first support would be 1.3044, followed by the psychological figure of 1.3000. A breach or the latter will expose the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 1.2940, ahead of the 1.2900 mark.
