Pound Retests Resistance 20/10/2025

GBP/USD has turned positive intraday after a brief hold above 1.3400 (psychological support), but the recovery looks fragile into nearby resistance.

Technical:
RSI is hovering near overbought, hinting at fading momentum. The 50-period SMA sits near 1.3450, acting as overhead resistance and reinforcing a cautious tone on the 4-hour chart.

Base case:
Bias tilts bearish while capped by 1.3450. A decisive break below 1.3400 would likely extend losses toward 1.3350, then 1.3320.

Alternative:
A confirmed break and hold above 1.3450 would neutralize immediate downside pressure and could reopen 1.3520 on follow-through buying.

Risk:
Headline and geopolitical flows can drive sharp two-way moves. Use disciplined sizing and clear invalidation levels; conditions may not suit all risk profiles.

Trading CFDs involves risks, and therefore all scenarios may be plausible. The information provided above is not a recommendation to sell or buy but rather an explanatory reading of price movement on the chart.
