GBP/USD Price Forecast: Surpasses 1.3000 as bullish momentum builds
Source Fxstreet
- GBP/USD clears 100-day SMA; aims for October’s 30 high of 1.3047.
- Buyers may push toward 1.3100, with 50-day SMA resistance at 1.3118.
- Failure to hold 1.3000 could see the pair retreat to 1.2908 support level.
The Pound Sterling advanced against the Greenback during the North American session, with buyers reclaiming the 1.3000 figure and clearing the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) resistance at 1.2982. At the time of writing, the GBP/USD trades at 1.3011, up by 0.43%.
GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
After briefly consolidating on Monday, the GBP/USD cleared the 1.3000 figure, though it remains slightly tilted to the downside. Buyers would need to regain October’s 30 swing high of 1.3047 to take control and push the pair toward 1.3100. Once done and those levels are removed, the next resistance would be the 50-day SMA at 1.3118.
On the other hand, sellers would need to drag the GBP/USD below 1.3000 and the 100-day SMA for a bearish resumption. In that outcome, the next support would be the October 24 and 25 low of 1.2908, followed by the October 31 pivot low of 1.2843 ahead of the 200-day SMA at 1.2810.
Oscillators suggest that bulls are gathering steam, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) aiming up. However, it remains shy of cracking its 50 neutral line. Therefore, caution is warranted.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant.
The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year.
Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus.
Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses.
Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
