GBP/USD Technical Analysis: GBP/USD challenging daily lows

  • GBP/USD found resistance at 1.2975, last Friday’s low, after which  bears drove the market near the current daily low at 1.2937
  • Bears would need a strong breakout below 1.2937 in order to open the gates to the 1.2920-1.2900 area.  
  • A failure to break below 1.2937 can lead to a rotation back up with bulls initially targeting the current daily high at 1.2975. A breakout above 1.2975 should lead to an acceleration towards 1.3000-1.3010 area.
