GBP/USD Price Forecast: Slips below 1.3000 on risk aversion
GBP/USD begins the week down, struggling to hold above 1.3000.
Sellers eye key support at last week’s low of 1.2973, with further downside targets at the 100-DMA and the 200-DMA, each at 1.2959 and 1.2796.
Buyers must reclaim 1.3100 to challenge the 50-DMA at 1.3133 and aim for the YTD high of 1.3434.
The Pound Sterling is losing some ground against the Greenback. Increasing tensions in the Middle East are spurring a risk-off environment despite China’s efforts to propel its economy. At the time of writing, the GBP/USD trades at 1.2997, down 0.38%.
GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD begins the week on the back foot after opening at around 1.3039. Since then, the pair hit a 1.3057 high before sliding beneath the 1.3000 mark.
