Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) momentum indicator is reflecting short-term bullish momentum, with the MACD line above the center line and the signal line. Additionally, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering above the 50 level, confirming the bullish trend.
In terms of resistance, the GBP/USD pair could test the upper boundary of the ascending channel around the psychological level of 1.3000. A break above this level could provide support for the pair to revisit the yearly high of 1.3044 recorded on July 17.
