Pound sterling dips 0.07% to 1.3456

Highlights

GBP/USD trades at 1.3456 above MA-20 (1.3433), MA-50 (1.3300), and MA-200 (1.3408), confirming a bullish structure with strong buyer support.
Momentum remains mixed as MACD gives a strong buy signal and ADX at 28.07 indicates trend strength, but daily price action shows a minor 0.07% decline from the previous close.
Analysts expect GBP/USD to trade between $1.3400 and $1.3550 over the next five sessions, with over 80% probability of further price gains; a breakout above $1.3550 could signal new highs.

Momentum signals strong despite sellers pressing tight intraday range

Technical analysis highlights continued strength as GBP/USD holds above the major daily moving averages; the nearest resistance is just above at the MA-5 and MA-10, while immediate support is provided by Ichimoku’s Kijun at 1.3413. Momentum indicators show a strong MACD buy signal and bullish ADX (28.07), but intraday price action is under mild pressure within today’s very tight 1.3458 – 1.3463 range and sellers are testing lows after the open. RSI (60.2) and CCI (61.3) are positive, Stoch RSI is deeply oversold, and BBP signals continued buyer dominance, though volatility remains muted.

Upside favored as probability outpaces range-bound risk

In the near term, GBP/USD is likely to trade between $1.3400 and $1.3550, a volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of further gains exceeds 80%, though sideways action within this range remains the baseline scenario. A breakout above $1.3550 could open the way toward new highs, while a slip below $1.3400 would suggest temporary short-term weakness and expose lower support levels.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, notes that GBP/USD is showing clear bullish strength above key moving averages. He sees strong buyer momentum and solid technical support, despite lack of fresh news on the day. The analyst considers upside probability above 80% within the defined trading band. Karapetjanc expects consolidation but does not rule out a push toward new highs. "I remain confident in further GBP/USD upside, as technical and sentiment signals continue to favor buyers in the near term."

Last time, analysts noted GBP/USD was exhibiting sustained bullish momentum, trading firmly above its short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages with major technical indicators — including MACD and ADX — supporting buyer control despite mildly overbought RSI readings. Support is identified near $1.3413, with immediate resistance just above current levels, and while upside bias prevails amid low volatility, caution is advised as oscillators approach overbought territory.
