GBPUSD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD trend remains downward biased, although the Pound has recovered some ground. If buyers want to regain control, first, they need to clear 1.2714, the November 20 high, followed by the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.2818, which has turned flat. If those two resistance levels are surpassed, buyers' ride toward 1.3000 would not be easy after the 50-day SMA just crossed below the 100-day SMA and accelerated toward forming a ‘death-cross.’
Conversely, sellers must achieve a daily close below 1.2600 for a bearish continuation. A breach of the latter will expose the November 26 low of 1.2506, ahead of last week's low of 1.2486.
