GBP/USD Consolidates Below 1.2200
GBP/USD has entered a consolidation phase after testing the resistance at 1.2200. The upward momentum of the British Pound seems to pause, preparing for the Bank of England (BoE) policy announcement on 'Super Thursday.' The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart remains near 50, indicating indecision in GBP/USD.
The 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) forms immediate resistance at 1.2175, followed by 1.2200 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the latest downtrend, SMA 200). A close above this level in the 4-hour timeframe could attract technical buyers and pave the way for an extended recovery towards 1.2260 (psychological level).
On the flip side, the initial support lies at 1.2100 (psychological, static level) followed by 1.2050 (recent downtrend low) and 1.2000 (psychological, static level).
