GBP/USD Price Forecast: Remains below 50-day EMA near the confluence of 1.3400

Source Fxstreet
  • GBP/USD may navigate the region around the eight-month low of 1.3140.
  • The 14-day Relative Strength Index at 49.56 indicates momentum is consolidating.
  • The immediate barrier lies at the 50-day EMA of 1.3383.

GBP/USD remains steady after four days of losses, trading around 1.3370 during the European hours on Wednesday. The pair is holding a mildly bearish near‑term bias as spot remains capped beneath the 50‑day and nine-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 49.56 sits near the neutral line, hinting at consolidative momentum rather than a decisive directional push.

The technical analysis of the daily chart suggests a bearish breakdown and signals a potential trend reversal or consolidation phase as the GBP/USD pair has broken below the lower boundary of an ascending channel. Further support lies at the eight-month low of 1.3140, recorded on June 24.

On the upside, the immediate barrier lies at the 50-day EMA of 1.3383, followed by the nine-day EMA at 1.3406. A rebound above the moving averages would revive the bullish bias and support the GBP/USD pair to explore the region around the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 1.3640, followed by the five-month high of 1.3658, reached on May 1. A break above this level would expose 1.3869, the highest level since September 2021, reached on January 27.
