  • GBP/USD may test the 1.3632, the fresh highest since February 2022.

  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index remains above 50, suggesting that bullish bias is active.

  • The primary support appears at the nine-day EMA of 1.3552.

The GBP/USD pair has recovered its daily losses, trading around 1.3570 during the Asian hours on Monday. The bullish bias may weaken as the daily chart’s technical analysis indicates that the pair is hovering around the ascending channel pattern.

The GBP/USD pair has rebounded above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), suggesting the short-term price momentum is still stronger. Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above 50, indicating a bullish bias is in play.

The successful recovery of the GBP/USD pair within the ascending channel may reinforce the bullish bias and lead the pair to test the resistance at 1.3632, which was reached on June 13, the new highest since February 2022. A break above this level could prompt the pair to explore the region around the upper boundary of the ascending channel at 1.4250.

On the downside, the GBP/USD pair may find the primary support at the nine-day EMA of 1.3552, followed by the 50-day EMA at 1.3346. A break below these level could weaken the short- and medium-term price momentum and drive the pair to test the 10-week low at 1.3063, recorded on April 14.
