GBP/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

From a daily chart perspective, the GBP/USD remains neutral to upward biased, though Monday’s price action formed a spinning top, meaning indecision surrounding the pair. However, a bullish continuation is expected as the daily Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) lie below the current exchange rates.

Therefore, the GBP/USD first resistance would be June 30 daily high at 1.2728, followed by the 1.2750 psychological level. Once cleared, the next resistance would be 1.2800, ahead of challenging the year-to-date (YTD) high of 1.2848.

Nonetheless, further downside is expected if GBP/USD fails to reclaim 1.2700 and drops past the 20-day EMA at 1.2657. The GBP/USD next support would be the June 29 daily low of 1.2590, followed by the 50-day EMA at 1.2561 and the 1.2500 figure.
