GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Eyes test of 200-day MA for first since May 2018

The GBP/USD pair looks set to test the 200-day moving average (MA) for the first time since May 2018. 

As of writing, the pair is trading at 1.3106, having clocked a high of 1.3128 earlier today -  a level last seen on Nov. 8. Meanwhile, the 200-day MA is located at 1.3146. 

Hourly chart

  • The flag breakout and last hourly candle's convincing close above the Jan. 23 high of 1.3094 indicates the path of least resistance is to the higher side. 
  • The major averages (50, 10, and 200) are also trending north and located one above the other indicating a bullish bias. 
  • On the daily chart, 5- and 10-candle MAs are also rising and the 14-day RSI is biased bullish above 50.00.
  • The dips, if any, could be short-lived and the 200-day MA hurdle could be soon put to test. 
  • The bullish pressure would weaken if the pair closes below the 10-day MA, currently at 1.2954. 

Trend: bullish
