GBP/USD could target the immediate barier at the three-month high of 1.2724.


The 14-day RSI stays above 50, signaling sustained bullish momentum.


The primary support appears at the nine-day EMA of 1.2639.


The GBP/USD pair edges lower after registering gains in the previous session, hovering around 1.2680 during Tuesday’s Asian hours. Technical analysis of the daily chart suggests a continued bullish bias, with the pair maintaining its position within an ascending channel pattern.


The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above 50, indicating strengthened bullish momentum. Moreover, the GBP/USD pair continues to trade above the nine- and 14-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), reinforcing strong short-term price dynamics and confirming the ongoing upward trend.

The GBP/USD pair may challenge immediate resistance at the three-month high of 1.2724, reached on March 3, followed by the ascending channel’s upper boundary near 1.2780. A decisive breakout above this level could reinforce the bullish outlook, potentially driving the pair toward the psychological resistance at 1.2800.


On the downside, the GBP/USD pair is likely to find initial support at the nine-day EMA of 1.2639, followed by the 14-day EMA at 1.2613. A break below these levels could weaken short-term price momentum, potentially driving the pair toward the ascending channel’s lower boundary near 1.2560.


A decisive break below the channel could weaken the bullish bias, potentially exposing the pair to the three-month low of 1.2249, last seen on February 3.
