The GBP/USD pair saw a rise on Friday, with a focus on the crucial 1.3000 mark. The bullish technical outlook continues, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests potential for more gains, nearing overbought territory. However, support levels to watch in case of rejection include 1.2900, 1.2894 (March 8 peak), and 1.2860 (June 12 high).
The Pound Sterling surged against the US Dollar, despite US inflation data being slightly higher than anticipated. The GBP/USD pair currently trades at 1.2981 after bouncing off daily lows of 1.2901. The uptrend on the GBP/USD continues, reaching a new year-to-date high and targeting last year’s July 27 high of 1.2995, close to the 1.3000 figure.
From a momentum perspective, bulls remain in control of the GBP/USD pair. The RSI, while in overbought conditions due to aggressive price action, still has room for further gains before reaching the most extreme level of 80. In case of a rejection at the 1.3000 mark, the pair could enter a range-bound trading phase between 1.2900-1.3000. A drop below 1.2900 may lead to a test of the March 8 peak support at 1.2894, followed by the June 12 high at 1.2860.
