GBP/USD Price Analysis: Impending bear cross recalls sellers, as 1.3700 caves in again

  • GBP/USD returns to the red after rejection just below 1.3750.
  • Impending bear cross and RSI sub-50.00 keep the downside bias intact.
  • Strong support aligns near the 1.3610 level, the last line of defense for bulls.

GBP/USD is battling 1.3700, having faced rejection just shy of the 1.3750 psychological barrier, earlier on.

The cable is back in the red zone after witnessing a staggering recovery on Monday, as the bulls fail to resist above the 1.3700 round number once again.

As observed on the daily chart, the downward-sloping 50-Daily Moving Average (DMA) is on the verge of breaking below the mildly bearish 21-DMA.

If the 50-DMA successfully breaches the 21-DMA from above, then a bear cross would be materialized, signallng at the further downside.

Therefore, the bulls seem to have turned cautious amid an impending bearish crossover. Meanwhile, the 14-Day Relative Strength Index (RSI) continues to trade below the 50.00 level, backing the downturn in the price.

That said, immediate support is seen at 1.3650, below which a powerful cap emerges around 1.3610, where the previous day’s low and the ascending trendline coincide

Contrarily, daily closing above the daily highs of 1.3747 could negate the bearish momentum in the near term, exposing the horizontal 200-DMA resistance at 1.3796.

Further up, the August 10 low at 1.3827 could offer stiff resistance to the buyers.
