During Monday’s trading session, the currency exchange rate was resisted by the 55-hour simple moving average to push the rate to trade downside. On Tuesday morning, the British Pound was located at the 1.3041 mark.

It is expected that the rate will keep moving downwards to pass the support level of the weekly S1 at 1.3014 to end the trading session at the 1.2980 level.

However, the weekly S1 at 1.3014 could support the British Pound to appreciate against the US Dollar to push the rate to trade sideways during the day.

During Thursday’s trading session, the currency exchange rate jumped by 142 pips or 1.11% to the 1.3000 mark. On Friday morning, the rate was located between the 55-hour and the 100-hour simple moving averages at the 1.2949 mark.

In regards to the near-term future, most likely, the rate will trade sideways to stay at the 1.2900 level for the rest of the trading session.

However, the 55-hour simple moving average could support the British Pound to appreciate against the US Dollar to break the resistance level of the 200-hour simple moving average. It is expected that the rate could trade near the weekly S1 at the 1.3014 mark.
Note
The GBP/USD pair is bouncing off resistance levels, which create a resistance cluster from the 1.2940 to 1.2950 levels. Meanwhile, the pair had no technical support as low as the 1.2860 mark.

In general, from a technical perspective the rate is expected to continue its decline in the borders of a descending channel pattern. Namely, it should reach for the 62.30% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.2864.

On the other hand another fundamental announcement about the Brexit talks might immediately change the situation by causing another bounce upwards or sudden drop down.
