  • GBP/USD has retreated into the descending channel pattern, signaling a dominant bearish bias.


  • The pair could test the nine-month low at 1.2321, recorded on Wednesday.


  • The immediate resistance appears at the descending channel's upper boundary, near the nine-day EMA at 1.2447.


The GBP/USD pair remains under pressure for the third consecutive session, hovering near 1.2360 during Thursday's Asian trading hours. Technical analysis of the daily chart highlights a prevailing bearish bias, with the pair falling back to the descending channel pattern.


The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) approaches the 30 mark, signaling intensified bearish momentum. Additionally, the GBP/USD pair trades below the nine- and 14-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), reflecting weak short-term price dynamics.


On the downside, the GBP/USD pair could test the nine-month low of 1.2321, recorded on January 8, followed by the next support level at 1.2299, the lowest since November 2023, last observed on April 22. A break below this level could strengthen bearish sentiment, potentially driving the pair toward the lower boundary of the descending channel near 1.2050.


On the upside, the GBP/USD pair may encounter immediate resistance at the descending channel's upper boundary, near the nine-day EMA at 1.2447, followed by the 14-day EMA at 1.2481. A decisive breakout above this critical resistance zone could enhance short-term price momentum, paving the way for a potential move toward the two-month high of 1.2811, reached on December 6.
