GBPUSD at Risk of Plunging in the Short-Term Beneath the 1.3000 Level

GBPUSD Price Analysis – October 25

The GBPUSD broke below the 1.3050 level and at risk of plunging in the short-term beneath the 1.3000 level, after hitting a fresh two day low in the prior session. The Pound is under pressure as US Dollar recovers momentum however the upbeat UK Retail Sales and expanding business activity in the country supported the pound.

Key Levels
Resistance Levels: 1.3514, 1.3267, 1.3190
Support Levels: 1.2910, 1.2675, 1.2252

GBPUSD Long term Trend: Ranging
Technically speaking, GBPUSD has limited bullish potential when trading below 1.3190. The daily chart shows that it is developing primarily from its moving averages, which are in any case limited to a narrow range with moderate bullish slopes. RSI has declined within positive levels and is holding near its midline.

In a broader context, attention remains at the key resistance level of 1.3514. A decisive breakout should also occur on sustained trading above the 5 and 13 moving averages (currently at 1.3007). This should confirm the mid-term bottom at 1.1409. Nonetheless, a deviation at 1.3514 will maintain medium to long term bearish sentiment for the next decline below 1.1409 at a later stage.

GBPUSD Short term Trend: Ranging
The 4-hour chart shows that the pair has stopped below the moving averages 5 and 13, and the momentum indicator is moving steadily down within negative levels. The RSI indicator is flat within neutral levels, so the risk is shifted to the downside.

Last week, GBPUSD bounced off the 1.2675 level to hit 1.3175 but then retreated. Initial bias remains neutral this week. Another rise is expected as long as the support level of 1.2910 is held. A break below 1.3175 would target the 1.3482 high. On the other hand, a breakout of the 1.2910 level would indicate the completion of the bounce.
