GBP/USD Price Analysis: Short-term falling trendline keeps sellers hopeful

  • GBP/USD fails to extend the recovery moves.
  • A monthly support line, five-week-old horizontal line check sellers.
  • 1.2490 adds to the resistance ahead of the monthly top.

GBP/USD drops 0.10% on a day, to currently near 1.2320, amid the early Asian session on Thursday. In doing so, the pair fails to extend the previous day’s recovery moves as portrayed by a seven-day-old falling trendline.

Given the pair’s sustained weakness, an upward sloping trend line since March 27, around 1.2210, seems to be the immediate support.

However, a horizontal line since March 18, close to 1.2130 could question the pair’s further downside past-1.2210.

On the upside, multiple stops around 1.2490 can check buyers following a clear break of the said resistance line, at 1.2395 now.

In a case where the GBP/USD prices remain strong above 1.2490, the monthly high of 1.2648 will be challenged afterward.
