After a series of consecutive gains, the British pound has retraced its recent highs against the U.S. dollar, pulling back from the 1.3580 resistance level, which capped further upside. Intraday movements have since stabilized near the morning low of 1.3470.
From a technical perspective, while intraday momentum remains somewhat muted, simple moving averages continue to provide underlying support for the uptrend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is also showing signs of recovery after reaching oversold conditions, suggesting the potential for renewed upward momentum.
As long as price action remains above 1.3430, the broader bullish trend remains intact, with initial upside targets at 1.3530 and 1.3550. A confirmed break above these levels could open the door for a further advance toward 1.3590.
However, a return to trading below 1.3430, particularly with an hourly candle close, would likely limit the upside potential and place the pair under renewed selling pressure. In this scenario, the next downside targets are 1.3390 and 1.3340.
