GBP/USD Technical Analysis

The British Pound was under a lot of pressure recently as it struggled to hold gains above the 1.2900 level against the US Dollar. The GBP/USD pair declined and broke the 1.2880 and 1.2850 support levels.

The pair traded towards the 1.2800 support area and formed a low at 1.2799. Later, there was an upside correction and the pair climbed above the 1.2835 and 1.2840 resistance levels.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis Chart

There was also a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.2909 high to 1.2799 low. The pair spiked towards the 1.2880 resistance where sellers emerged and protected more upsides towards 1.2900.

Moreover, the pair failed to settle above the 50 hourly simple moving average and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the 1.2909 high to 1.2799 low. At the outset, the pair is consolidating above the 1.2835 support and is preparing for the next move.

On the upside, there is a crucial bearish trend line in place with resistance at 1.2868 on the hourly chart of GBP/USD. A break above the trend line and the 1.2880 resistance is likely to open the doors for more gains towards the 1.2900 and 1.2920 levels.

On the other hand, if the pair corrects lower, the broken resistance at 1.2835 is likely to act as a support. Moreover, there is a connecting bullish trend line in place with support at 1.2830 on the same chart. Only a break below the trend line may well push the pair back towards the 1.2800 support.

EUR/GBP Technical Analysis

The Euro remained in a major uptrend from the 0.8900 swing low against the British Pound. The EUR/GBP pair gained traction recently from the 0.8960 support level and broke many resistances.

First, there was a break and close above the 0.9000 resistance and the 50 hourly SMA. Second, there was a break above a key contracting triangle with resistance at 0.9034 on the hourly chart. The last break was above the 0.9050 level.

EUR/GBP Technical Analysis Chart

The pair traded as high as 0.9058 and it is currently correcting lower. It has moved below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 0.9001 low to 0.9058 high.

However, there are many supports on the downside above the 0.9020 level. An initial support is 0.9035, which is near the broken triangle trend line. Below this, the pair may well test the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the 0.9001 low to 0.9058 high at 0.9030.

Further below 0.9030, the next major support is near the 0.9020 level, a bullish trend line, and the 50 hourly SMA. Therefore, as long as the pair is above the 0.9020 and 0.9000, it remains supported for more gains.

On the upside, an initial resistance is at 0.9050, above which, the pair will most likely break the 0.9058 high for a push towards the 0.9080 level in the near term.
