GBP/USD Price Analysis: Breaking Crucial Resistance at 1.2260

In the early Tokyo session, the GBP/USD pair is oscillating in a tight range between 1.2236 and 1.2266. After hitting a low of 1.2173 on Friday, the asset has been gradually ascending as risk-perceived currencies attracted strong interest.

 

A break to the upside of the cable from its prior range of 1.2173 to 1.2248 has strengthened the pound versus the dollar. The pair is hanging near the important horizontal resistance established by the high reached on May 9 at 1.2262. The trendline drawn from the March 5 high of 1.2663 and the previous week's high of 1.2400 will operate as a formidable barrier in the near future.

 

A sustained move above the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.2233 is bullish for the currency pair. However, the asset remains below the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at 1.2340, indicating that a downward tendency persists.

 

The momentum oscillator, Relative Strength Index (RSI), (14) oscillates between 40.00 and 60.00, indicating a lack of direction heading ahead.

 

If the asset surpasses the previously mentioned trendline at 1.2300, investors should consider a positive move. This will lead the asset in the direction of the previous week's peak at 1.2400, followed by the May 9 peak at 1.2662.

 

Alternatively, dollar bulls could reclaim control if the asset falls below Friday's low of 1.2173, sending it towards the 18 May 2020 low of 1.2075. A violation of the latter will drag the cable to the high of 1.1973 on March 25, 2020.
