GBP/USD was not able to maintain its upside momentum, resulting in a fall down to the 55-hour SMA. Subsequently, the pair returned near Friday’s upside limit circa 1.3030 and depreciated once more down to the 55-hour SMA. Technical indicators suggest that the Pound may still respect the boundaries of the ascending channel in this trading session, but the 1.3050/60 area may limit its gains. The upside trend is non-existent at this point; thus a possible move sideways should breach the bottom channel line on Tuesday. The Pound may find support at the 55-hour SMA once again; however, bearish sentiment may prevail and push the British currency below the given level. In case of strong downside risks, the rate is likely to be supported by the 100-hour SMA near 1.2950.
