GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

After briefly consolidating on Monday, the GBP/USD cleared the 1.3000 figure, though it remains slightly tilted to the downside. Buyers would need to regain October’s 30 swing high of 1.3047 to take control and push the pair toward 1.3100. Once done and those levels are removed, the next resistance would be the 50-day SMA at 1.3118.

On the other hand, sellers would need to drag the GBP/USD below 1.3000 and the 100-day SMA for a bearish resumption. In that outcome, the next support would be the October 24 and 25 low of 1.2908, followed by the October 31 pivot low of 1.2843 ahead of the 200-day SMA at 1.2810.
