GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD consolidates as it recovers from falling to multi-month lows at around 1.2480s. On its way north, the pair cleared the 1.2600 figure and November 29 peak of 1.2749 before aiming toward the December 6 high at 1.2811. The failure to extend its gains past the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) of 1.2820 opened the door for a pullback to current spot prices.
On the other hand, sellers are moving in, as shown by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) punching below its neutral line, indicating that they’re gathering steam. If GBP/USD drops below 1.2700, the pair could slide towards 1.2600 before challenging the November 22 swing low of 1.2486.
