GBP/USD hourly chart analysis
The GBP/USD 1-hour chart provides a more granular look at the recent daily breakdown, detailing a structured bearish descent guided by a descending trendline and a declining 20 MA. Price is currently carving out a local consolidation base right above the 1.33441 horizontal support level, following a sharp intra-day liquidation leg characterized by sustained high volume. While the immediate sellers have paused, forcing a minor squeeze back into the hourly 20 MA, the overarching intra-day structure remains firmly bearish. Unless buyers can breach the descending trendline and reclaim the psychological 1.34000 area, the path of least resistance points toward a breakdown below 1.33441, which would open the door for a continuation toward the key daily support floor at 1.32183.
Hourly Chart
GBP/USD daily chart analysis
GBP/USD daily chart exhibits a strong short-term bearish shift as price has aggressively broken below both the 20-day moving average and immediate structural support to trade at 1.33504. With consecutive heavy red candles driving price into the lower boundary of its recent trading range, momentum heavily favors sellers, pointing toward a continuation down to test the major double-bottom support level at 1.32183. Any short-term relief rallies are likely to face stiff overhead resistance near the 1.35280 zone, and the broader bearish outlook remains intact unless the bulls can reclaim and close above that level.
