• GBP/USD fades bounce off a seven-week-old ascending support line.

In doing so, the Cable pair fades the previous day’s bounce off an upward-sloping support line from early January amid the oversold RSI conditions. However, the quote’s sustained trading below the 200-SMA and the bearish MACD signals keep the GBP/USD bears hopeful of breaking the 1.1930 immediate support.

Following that, the monthly low of 1.1915 and the 1.1840 can act as extra filters towards the south before directing the GBP/USD price to September 2022 high near 1.1740.

It’s worth noting that tops marked in the last October, around 1.1645 and 1.1500, could lure the Cable bears past 1.1740.

On the flip side, a one-week-old descending resistance line, close to the 1.2000 psychological magnet, restricts immediate recovery moves of the GBP/USD pair.

Even if the quote rises past 1.2000, a downward-sloping resistance line from early February, near 1.2135 at the latest, should challenge the GBP/USD buyers.

Also important to note is that the Cable pair bulls remain off the table unless witnessing the pair’s sustained trading beyond the 200-SMA, close to 1.2190 by the press time.
