GBP/USD technical analysis: Choppy between 1.2525, 23.6% Fibo.

• RSI recovers from oversold conditions indicating price pullback on the upside.
• 1.2480/77 holds the key to fresh south-run.

With the British Pound (GBP) buyers waiting for the monthly employment data, GBP/USD clings to 1.2515 ahead of the UK open on Tuesday.

The pair has been choppy between 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of late-June to early month declines, at 1.2510 and 1.2525 off-late. However, recovery of 14-bar relative strength index (RSI) from oversold conditions favor the pair’s upside more than otherwise.

In doing so, the 50-hour moving average (50-HMA) level of 1.2545 can offer an intermediate halt to the rally towards monthly top surrounding 1.2580.

Alternatively, the pair’s break of 1.2510 highlights the importance of 1.2480/77 horizontal support area that holds the key to the downpour in the direction to 1.2440, 1.2430 and the 1.2400 round-figure.
