GBP/USD Price Forecast: Hovers around 1.3550, support appears near nine-day EMA

Source Fxstreet
  • GBP/USD may find a primary barrier at 1.3616, the highest level since February 2022.
  • A bullish bias prevails as the 14-day RSI remains above the 50 mark.
  • The initial support appears at the nine-day EMA of 1.3526.

The GBP/USD pair retraces its recent gains, trading around 1.3540 during Asian hours on Tuesday. The technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a persistent bullish bias as the pair moves upwards within an ascending channel pattern.

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

On the upside, the GBP/USD pair may test the resistance at 1.3616, reached on June 5, the highest level since February 2022. A break above this level could strengthen the bullish sentiment and support the pair to explore the region around the upper boundary of the ascending channel at 1.4160.

The GBP/USD pair may find the primary support at the nine-day EMA of 1.3526, followed by the ascending channel’s lower boundary at 1.3500. A successful break below this crucial support zone could cause the emergence of the bearish bias and put downward pressure on the pair to test the 50-day EMA at 1.3307, followed by the nine-week low at 1.3063, recorded on April 14.
