By the middle of Thursday's GMT trading hours, the hourly simple moving averages had not pushed the rate down. Despite providing resistance, the 55-hour SMA did not push the rate down, as it began to move sideways.

In general, the rate was expected to continue to trade between the support of the 1.2950 level and the 55-hour SMA, which was located just above 1.3009.

GBP/USD short-term review

Note that the currency pair is pressured by the 55-hour moving average, currently located at 1.3010. Thus, it is likely that some downside potential could prevail in the market, and the pair could target the Fibo 38.20% at 1.2918.

However, if the 1.2950 level holds, it is likely that the British Pound could consolidate against the Greenback in the short run. Also, it is unlikely that bulls could prevail, and the pair could exceed the weekly S1 at 1.3053.

Hourly Chart



On the daily candle chart, the rate's decline could look for support in the 100-day SMA, which on Thursday was located near 1.2885.
