The post Stumbles on soft UK data, bears target 1.2600 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

GBP/USD remains under pressure, testing significant support levels after crossing below the 200-day SMA. Further downside may see the pair target 1.2600 and potentially extend to May’s low of 1.2445. Recovery above 1.2700 could challenge resistance at 1.2817, with RSI indicating potential consolidation ahead. The Pound Sterling extends its agony and printing losses for the sixth straight day against the Greenback. Soft UK GDP coupled with robust US Retail Sales figures boosted the US Dollar and weighed on GBP/USD, which trades at 1.2636, down 0.22%. GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook The GBP/USD is bearish-biased once it falls below the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). A daily close below the latest intermediate support at 1.2664, the August 8 swing low, would pave the way for further downside. The following key support level would be the 1.2600 figure, followed by the latest cycle low at 1.2445 on May 9, followed by the year-to-date (YTD) low at 1.2299. Conversely, if GBP/USD recovers and rises above 1.2700, the next resistance would be the 200-day SMA at 1.2817. Once surpassed, the next resistance would be the 1.2900 mark. Oscillators, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), suggest the pair might consolidate. The RSI is nearby oversold conditions and has begun to shift flat.
