GBP/USD Price Forecast: Tests 1.3300 support as bearish bias prevails
- GBP/USD may fall toward the three-month low of 1.3218.
- The 14-day RSI near 39 signals persistent selling pressure without signs of capitulation.
- The immediate resistance is seen at the nine-day EMA at 1.3349.
GBP/USD inches lower after registering nearly 0.75 gains in the previous session, trading around 1.3310 during the Asian hours on Tuesday. The short-term bias stays mildly bearish as spot holds below the declining nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and now trades under the flatter 50-day EMA, signalling fading upside momentum. The recent sequence of lower closes from the 1.36 area and failure to reclaim the short-term average confirms that rallies remain vulnerable to renewed downside interest.
Additionally, the technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a persistent bearish bias, as the pair moves downwards within the descending channel pattern. Moreover, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits around 39, below the 50 midline but off oversold extremes, signalling persistent selling pressure without capitulation.
The GBP/USD pair is testing the immediate support at the psychological level of 1.3300, followed by the three-month low of 1.3218, which was recorded on March 13. Further declines would open the doors for the GBP/USD pair to navigate the region around the descending channel’s lower boundary around 1.3100, followed by the 11-month low at 1.3010.
On the upside, the GBP/USD pair may find an immediate barrier at the nine-day EMA at 1.3349, followed by the upper descending channel boundary around 1.3390. A break above this confluence resistance zone would cause the emergence of the bullish bias and support the GBP/USD pair to test the 50-day EMA at 1.3458. The improved medium-term price momentum may lead the pair to explore the area around 1.3869, the highest since September 2021, reached on January 27.
