GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
From a technical perspective, the GBP/USD is neutral but tilted to the upside as the pair clears a key resistance trendline around 1.3560/65, clearing the way towards 1.3600. Momentum, as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), jumped sharply past the 60 reading, an indication that bulls are in charge.
If GBP/USD clears the 1.36 handle and confirms a ‘bullish engulfing’ chart pattern, it opens the door for challenging the February 11 daily high at 1.3711. Once breached, the next area of interest would be the psychological 1.3800 figure.
Conversely, a sudden reversal near the April 29 daily high of 1.3528 opens the door for a drop to 1.3500. A decisive break will expose the confluence of the 100- and 20-day SMAs at 1.3468/67, followed by the April 23 low of 1.3448.
