GBPUSD finds support at 20-day SMA
-
Holds well above rising trend line
-
Stochastics and RSI indicate upside moves
GBPUSD pulled back from the one-year high of 1.3045 in the previous week, meeting the 20-day simple moving average (SMA), which may act as strong support level for traders.
According to the technical oscillators, the stochastic is standing in the oversold area, but posted a bullish crossover within its %K and %D lines, while the RSI is ticking up above the neutral threshold of 50.
In case of more downside movements, the pair could slip until the 50-day SMA at 1.2780 ahead of the medium-term uptrend line, near the 1.2740 support level.
On the flip side, a bounce off the 20-day SMA could accelerate the market back above the one-year peak of 1.3045. If traders continue to buy the pair, then they may challenge the July 2023 top of 1.3140.
In brief, GBPUSD is currently in a bearish correction mode in the very short-term but is still above the uptrend line and more importantly above the 200-day SMA.
