On Wednesday, it was marked on the GBP/USD charts that the currency pair has been declining in a channel down pattern since April 22. On that day, the rate plummeted due to the worse than expected UK monthly retail sales data. In addition, most recently, the 1.2600 level had acted as resistance.

Economic Calendar



During the week, minor moves could be created by some data releases. Meanwhile, note that the whole financial market continues to adjust to the latest comments made by the Federal Reserve about monetary tightening.

On Tuesday, the US Durable Goods Orders might impact the USD value at 12:30 GMT.

On Thursday, the US Advance GDP is expected to cause USD volatility across the markets at 12:30 GMT.

GBP/USD short-term review

If the Pound continues to decline, compared to the US Dollar, the currency rate might look for support in the 1.2500 mark and the weekly S3 simple pivot point at 1.2474.

On the other hand, a potential surge of the pair would have to reach above the resistance zone near 1.2600, before testing the upper trend line of the channel down pattern. Higher above, take into account the weekly S2 simple pivot point at 1.2648 and the approaching 50-hour simple moving average.

GBP/USD daily chart's review

On the daily candle chart, the March and April low level zone failed and the channel down pattern, which guided the rate since early 2021 also failed. On the chart, we have marked the low levels of 2020, which could act as support.
