Technical Analysis – GBPUSD retreats from 2½-year high
- GBPUSD may create bearish correction in short-term
- Stochastic and RSI turn down
GBPUSD is ticking lower after it posted a fresh two-and-a-half-year high of 1.3428 during today’s session.
According to technical oscillators, the stochastic is creating a bearish crossover between its %K and %D lines in the overbought region, while the RSI is falling from the 70 level. Both indicate an overstretched market.
If the price continues the downside move, the pair may then head towards the first support of 1.3265. Below that, the 20-day simple moving average (SMA) at 1.3185 and, more importantly, the 50-day SMA slightly above the 1.3000 key level may halt declines.
In the positive scenario, there is a lot of room to cover before meeting the next resistance levels of 1.3634, achieved in February 2022, and the 1.3755 barrier, registered in January 2022.
To sum up, GBPUSD is losing some steam today, but the broader outlook is strongly bullish.
