British Pound Outlook: GBP/USD

GBP/USD extends the decline from the start of the week to register a fresh monthly low (1.3308), and the weakness in the exchange rate may persist as a head-and-shoulders formation seems to be taking shape.

British Pound Forecast: GBP/USD Falls to Fresh Monthly Low

Keep in mind, GBP/USD failed to defend the June low (1.3371) after closing below the 50-Day SMA (1.3530) for the first time since April, with the depreciation in the exchange rate pushing the Relative Strength Index (RSI) toward oversold territory.

The developments indicate a potential change in trend as GBP/USD no longer responds to the positive slope in the moving average, and the weakness in the exchange rate may carry into August as it appears to be completing a key reversal pattern in July.

With that said, GBP/USD may continue to give back the rebound from the May low (1.3140) as it carves a series of lower highs and lows, but the exchange rate may consolidate over the remainder of the week should it snap the bearish price series.

Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; GBP/USD on TradingView

  • GBP/USD falls to a fresh monthly low (1.3308) as it extends the decline from the start of the week, and a close below 1.3310 (100% Fibonacci extension) may push the exchange rate toward 1.3210 (50% Fibonacci extension).
  • Next area of interest comes in around the May low (1.3140), with a move/close below the 1.3140 (78.6% Fibonacci extension) to 1.3150 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) region opening up 1.3010 (61.8% Fibonacci extension).
  • However, lack of momentum to close below 1.3310 (100% Fibonacci extension) may curb the bearish price series, with a move above the 1.3410 (78.6% Fibonacci retracement) to 1.3460 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) area bringing 1.3650 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) on the radar.
