This week, notable events are over. Due to this reason, the current momentum might remain intact.

GBP/USD short-term view

A continuation of the Pound's decline against the US Dollar is expected to look for support once again in the 1.2447 level, where the weekly S2 simple pivot point is located. Further below, note the 1.2400 mark and the lower trend line of the channel down pattern.

However, in the case of the rate recovering, the 50-hour SMA, the 1.2500 mark, the upper trend line of the channel and the weekly S1 at 1.2515 are expected to act as resistance. Higher above, note the 100-hour SMA near 1.2542 and the 1.2548/1.2579 range.
