GBP/USD extends its losses for the third successive session, trading around 1.3380 during the early European hours on Wednesday. The near-term bias stays mildly bearish as spot holds below the declining nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and now trades under the flatter 50-day EMA, signalling fading upside momentum after the rejection from the mid-1.36s.
Additionally, the technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a reinforcement of a bearish bias, as the pair pulled back from the upper boundary of the descending channel pattern. Moreover, 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers just below the 40 mark, confirming persistent downside pressure rather than oversold conditions and keeping the focus on the recent sequence of lower daily highs.
The GBP/USD pair may explore the region downwards in terms of finding the primary support at the three-month low of 1.3253, which was recorded on December 3. Further declines would put downward pressure on the GBP/USD pair to navigate the region around the descending channel’s lower boundary around 1.3140, followed by the 11-month low at 1.3010.
On the upside, the immediate barrier lies at the nine-day EMA at 1.3414, aligned with the upper descending channel boundary. Further advances above the channel would cause the emergence of the bullish bias and support the GBP/USD pair to test the 50-day EMA at 1.3482. The improved medium-term price momentum may lead the GBP/USD pair to navigate the region around 1.3869, the highest since September 2021, reached on January 27.
