Highlights

GBP/USD maintains strong upward momentum, trading well above key moving averages across multiple timeframes.
Momentum indicators show a decisively bullish trend with firm directional strength, despite isolated intraday overbought signals.
Near-term trading is expected within a $1.3608–$1.3729 range, with an 80%+ probability of price advancing higher.

Bullish momentum reinforced as volatility and buyers dominate session

Technically, GBP/USD is trading comfortably above the SMA-20 at $1.3532, SMA-50 at $1.3401, and SMA-200 at $1.3397. Immediate support is established by the Ichimoku Kijun level at $1.0538, which sits well below current price action. The session opened with a minor upside gap from $1.3539 to $1.3565, and the pair is currently trading near the session highs between $1.3564 and $1.3603, reflecting moderate volatility. Momentum indicators remain positive on the daily chart: the MACD signals a bullish trend, the ADX shows strong directional strength, and the RSI is holding in the upper 50s. Intraday oscillators such as Stoch RSI and CCI indicate some overbought conditions, while Bull/Bear Power (BBP) and Awesome Oscillator both confirm buyer dominance during the session.

High probability of gains as price nears range top

Over the next five trading days, GBP/USD is expected to trade within a typical volatility band of $1.3608 to $1.3729. There is a very high probability, exceeding 80%, that price will move higher, while the likelihood of a decline remains limited. The base scenario suggests continued range-bound movement near current highs. A clear breakout above $1.3729 would open the path to further gains, while a loss of support at $1.3608 might trigger a moderate pullback, though longer-term momentum still favors buyers.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, notes GBP/USD is holding above major moving averages and showing persistent technical strength. He sees a clear bias toward buyers, but highlights that no supporting news provides additional conviction. Range-bound conditions may persist unless $1.3729 breaks to the upside. "Base case remains steady above $1.3608 support, but absent fresh catalysts, I stay cautious on further gains."

Earlier, analysts noted that Pound Sterling was demonstrating renewed bullish momentum against the US Dollar, supported by persistent trend strength. With positive momentum indicators and sustained support above key moving averages, traders should watch for a decisive move above resistance to signal a fresh phase of GBP/USD gains.
