GBP/USD rebounds after two days of gains, trading around 1.3560 during the Asian hours on Friday. The technical analysis of the daily chart points to a potential bearish reversal as the pair is positioned near the lower boundary of an ascending channel pattern.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum indicator, at 50 is neutral. RSI hovering around the midline would turn more supportive on a move above 50 and weaken below it.
The GBP/USD pair holds above the rising 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3496, while capped by the nine-day EMA at 1.3626. The short-term average is rolling over, restraining upside as the medium-term slope stays positive. The moving average structure keeps the broader tone supported, yet near-term traction is fading and favors consolidation before direction resumes.
The immediate support is seen at the lower boundary of the ascending channel around 1.3520, followed by the 50-day EMA at 1.3496. A break beneath the longer average would strengthen the bearish bias and put downward pressure on the GBP/USD pair to test the support reversal zone around 1.3350.
On the upside, the GBP/USD pair may target the nine-day EMA of 1.3626. A daily close above the short-term average could unlock a move toward resistance at 1.3869, the highest since September 2021, reached on January 27. Further advances would support the pair to test the upper boundary of the ascending channel around 1.4050. A break above the channel could open a fresh leg higher toward 1.4248, the highest since April 2018.
