- The primary support appears at a nine-day EMA of 1.2955.
The GBP/USD pair remains in positive territory for the fourth successive session, trading around 1.3010 during the Asian hours on Thursday. Technical analysis of the daily chart indicates a continued bullish bias, with the pair moving upwards within an ascending channel pattern.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is slightly above 70, signaling strong bullish momentum but also suggesting that the GBP/USD pair is overbought, potentially leading to a downward correction.
Moreover, the GBP/USD pair continues to trade above the nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), reinforcing strong short-term price dynamics and confirming the ongoing upward trend.
On the upside, the GBP/USD pair may challenge primary resistance at the five-month high at 1.3048, recorded on November 6, followed by the ascending channel’s upper boundary near 1.3090.
The GBP/USD pair is likely to find immediate support at the nine-day EMA of 1.2954. A break below this level could weaken short-term price momentum, potentially driving the pair toward the ascending channel’s lower boundary near 1.2770, followed by the 50-day EMA at 1.2705.
