GBP/USD Forecast: Pound Sterling faces stiff resistance at 1.2800 ahead of US NFP
At roughly 1.2800, the midpoint of the ascending regression channel corresponds to significant resistance. If that level is broken and the pair begins to use it as support, technical buyers may become interested. In this case, the static level of 1.2850 may serve as a temporary barrier prior to the rising channel's top limit of 1.2900.
The 4-hour chart's 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) may serve as the initial level of support before 1.2730 (the lower bound of the ascending channel and the 100-period SMA) and 1.2700 (the static level and psychological level), respectively, on the downside.
