  • GBP/USD nears 1.3239, with potential to test the YTD high at 1.3266 and March 2022 peaks.
  • Bulls bought the dip at 1.3001, fueling the rally to current levels.
  • Failure at 1.3200 could see a pullback towards 1.3150, with further downside risks at 1.3100 and 1.3044.

The Pound Sterling rallied in early trading during the North American session against the Greenback, registering gains of over 0.60% and hitting a five-day peak of 1.3214. At the time of writing, the GBP/USD trades at 1.3199.


GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
 

The GBP/USD has risen sharply, as bullish momentum picked up, as portrayed by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). In addition, bulls buying the dip at 1.3001 lifted spot prices to the current exchange rate.

Still, GBP/USD remains shy of testing the September 6 high of 1.3239. In that outcome, the next resistance level would be the year-to-date (YTD) high at 1.3266. Once surpassed, the daily high on March 23, 2022, would be up for grabs at 1.3298 before the pair hits the March 1, 2022, high at 1.3437.

Conversely, if GBP/USD stands below 1.3200, this could exacerbate a re-test of the 1.3100 figure. But firstly, sellers need to challenge 1.3150. Further losses lie at 1.3044, and the July 17 high turned support.
