GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
The GBP/USD downtrend remains in place, although it consolidated at around 1.2210 - 1.2240. During the session, buyers tested strong resistance at the April 22 low of 1.2299 before retreating beneath 1.2250. Should they hold to gains above the latter, they could challenge 1.2299 before targeting 1.2351, the January 2 swing low that turned resistance. Further upside is at 1.2400.
The downtrend could resume once sellers clear 1.2200. Once cleared, the next support would be the January 14 low of 1.2136, followed by the January 13 bottom of 1.2099.
