GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Corrective rally may have ended

  • The GBP/USD has eroded the rising trendline, as seen in the 4-hour chart below, signaling the corrective rally from the low of 1.2662 has made a temporary top at 1.3043.
  • Further, the rejection at the downward sloping (bearish) 50-day moving average (MA) on Aug. 30 and a close below the 10-day MA yesterday, as seen in the daily chart, indicates a bearish reversal. As a result, the spot could find acceptance below the immediate support of 1.28 (Aug. 24 low) today and that would open the doors to re-test of the recent low of 1.2662.
  • On the higher side, a daily close above the 50-day MA, currently located at 1.3018, is needed to confirm a bullish reversal.
