GBP/USD Price Forecast: Reaches new multi-year high above 1.3200

  • GBP/USD uptrend remains intact as long as it stays above 1.3043.
  • If buyers reclaim 1.3298, that will expose March 2022 peak at 1.3437.
  • A dip below 1.3200 will expose further support levels, like August 22, 1.3130 and the 1.3100 figure.

The Pound Sterling extended its gains and refreshed multi-year highs at around 1.3246 on Tuesday as the Greenback failed to recover following a surprisingly dovish tilt by Fed Chair Jerome Powell at his Jackson Hole speech. Investors increased their bets that the US central bank will lower rates at the September meeting, a tailwind for the GBP/USD. The pair exchanged hands at 1.3239 and is up by 0.40%.

GBP/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The uptrend in the GBP/USD continues even though the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is overbought, which could cap the pair’s advance higher. Nevertheless, reclaiming the top trendline of an ascending channel could put into play the test of the March 22, 2022, peak at 1.3298 before challenging higher prices.

In that outcome, the GBP/USD's next resistance would be 1.3300. Once surpassed, the March 1, 2022, daily high would emerge at 1.3437.

Conversely, a dip below 1.3200 can send the GBP/USD towards the August 22 high at 1.3130 ahead of 1.3100. On further weakness, the next support would be the July 17 peak turned support at 1.3044.
