GBP gains positive momentum 16/4/2025

The British pound recovered from its recent bearish bias after exiting oversold territory, regaining upward momentum in the process.

From a technical standpoint, the 4-hour chart shows continued support from the simple moving averages, which are helping to reinforce the bullish bias. This is further complemented by renewed positive signals from the Relative Strength Index (RSI), suggesting that upward momentum may persist.

As long as intraday trading remains stable above 1.3200, the bullish outlook remains valid. The next key target is the psychological barrier at 1.3300. A confirmed break above this level would likely strengthen the uptrend and open the path toward the next resistance at 1.3330.

However, a sustained move back below 1.3200 could interrupt the current bullish momentum, triggering a potential corrective decline toward 1.3130 before another attempt to rally.
