In the US trading session, GBP/USD rose to its highest level since last Wednesday, surpassing the 1.2170 mark. The pair was supported by a weaker US dollar on Monday, as market participants awaited US employment data, as well as the Fed and BoE meetings. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart remained below 50, and GBP/USD closed the last 4-hour candle below the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), indicating the downtrend is still intact.
On the flip side, 1.2075 (a static level) is considered a temporary support before 1.2050 (the recent low) and 1.2000 (a psychological level).
The 50-period SMA formed dynamic resistance at 1.2140, ahead of 1.2180 (the 100-period SMA) and 1.2200 (the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, and the 200-period SMA).
