GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable bears challenging 1.3000 figure

  • GBP/USD bears are trying to resume the bear trend of the last months as they drove the market about 200 pips from 1.3200 to 1.3000.  
  • GBP/USD is in a bull flag and currently holding above 1.3000 figure. GBP/USD is trading below its 50 and 100-period simple moving average (SMA) but above its 200 SMA. The Stochastics indicator is deeply oversold while the RSI and MACD are in negative territories.  
  • Bulls will try to support the market above 1.3000, however, some residual bearish momentum may persist and see GBP/USD test lower levels near 1.2957 (July 19 swing low).
