GBP/USD consolidates within the 1.3060-1.3140 range, with sellers maintaining control after last week's US jobs report boosted the Greenback.
The pair is downward biased after falling below the 50-DMA, with key support at the September 11 low of 1.3001 and the 100-DMA at 1.2935.
A break above 1.3100 could signal a reversal, with resistance at 1.3200, followed by the October 3 peak of 1.3269.
The British Pound lost some ground against the Greenback on Wednesday as traders await minutes of the Federal Reserve’s last meeting and US inflation data on Thursday. At the time of writing, the GBP/USD trades at 1.3070, below its opening price by 0.26%.
GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD has consolidated within the 1.3060-1.3140 range for the last three days. The lack of a catalyst keeps market players uncertain, though last week’s US jobs report boosted the Greenback, which reached levels last seen in August 2024.
Momentum hints that sellers are in charge, as portrayed by the bearish reading of the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
In the short term, the pair is downward biased. The drop below the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 1.3087 opened the door for further losses. However, if sellers want to remain in charge, they must drive the exchange rate to the September 11 swing low of 1.3001. If that level is cleared, the 100-DMA at 1.2935 would be up for grabs, followed by the 200-DMA at 1.2784.
