GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

From a technical perspective, the GBP/USD remains consolidated but slightly tilted to the downside. However, sellers must clear the November 6 swing low of 1.2833 to challenge the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at 1.2816. If those two support levels are cleared, the bias will shift bearish, and the pair can challenge major support at the August 9 daily low of 1.2664.
