GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Limited upside potential below 1.3050 level

  • GBP/USD is trading in a bear trend below its 200-period simple moving average. However, bulls are busy trying to create a reversal up.  
  • The 200 SMA on the 4-hour chart is currently capping any bullish advance. Failure to break above it and the 1.3050 level can lead to a rotation to 1.3000 and 1.2947 levels. The RSI indicator is above 50, the MACD is bullish while the Stochastic is in overbought condition.  
  • On the flip side, a break above 1.3050 can lead to an advance to 1.3100 and 1.3200 figure.
