GBPUSD Movement
For the 24 hours to 23:00 GMT, the GBP declined 1.24% against the USD and closed at 1.2925, as investors turned away from risker assets, amid a rise in number of coronavirus cases outside China.
In the Asian session, at GMT0400, the pair is trading at 1.2939, with the GBP trading 0.11% higher against the USD from yesterday’s close.
The pair is expected to find support at 1.2899, and a fall through could take it to the next support level of 1.2860. The pair is expected to find its first resistance at 1.2966, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance level of 1.2994.
Trading trend in the pair today is expected to be determined by UK’s CBI distributive trades survey for February, slated to release in a few hours.
The currency pair is trading above its 20 Hr and 50 Hr moving averages.
