FxNews—GBP/USD entered a bearish trend after failing to hold above the 100-period simple moving average, dropping sharply from $1.304. Currently, bears are testing the October 31 low of $1.284 as support.
Technical indicators confirm bearish momentum, with the Awesome Oscillator showing red bars and the Stochastic and RSI at 36 and 35, suggesting more downside potential as the pair isn’t oversold.
The immediate resistance is $1.284. If bears close GBP/USD below this level, the next target could be $1.267. However, a move above the October 30 high of $1.3045 would invalidate the bearish outlook.
GBPUSD formed a double bottom pattern, while the primary trend is bearish, with $1.304 as the main resistance. The downtrend will likely resume if $1.304 holds, providing a decent opportunity to join the bear market.
