GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical Outlook
The GBP/USD bearish trend remains, although it consolidated around 1.2210 – 1.2240. During the session, buyers tested strong resistance at the April 22 low of 1.2299 before pulling back below 1.2250. If they hold gains above the latter, they could challenge 1.2299 before targeting 1.2351, the Jan. 2 low that turned into resistance. Further upside is at 1.2400.
The downtrend could resume once sellers break 1.2200. Once broken, the next support would be the January 14 low of 1.2136, followed by the January 13 bottom of 1.2099.
