Abstract:GBP/USD remains subdued within a two-week bearish channel, facing resistance at a crucial confluence of key moving averages. The relative strength index (RSI) holds steady and the MACD signal is bullish, providing some respite for GBP bears. The 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level and previous monthly low act as attractive levels for short positions.

In early Monday's Asian session, GBP/USD retreated to 1.2345, losing momentum after a rebound from the two-month low seen the previous day. As a result, GBP/USD remains within the descending channel formed two weeks ago.
It's worth noting that if policymakers in Congress approve a temporary debt agreement, the latest preliminary deal on the US debt ceiling extension could lead to a pullback in the recent gains of the US dollar. However, Monday's holiday in the US and UK, along with recent dissatisfaction expressed by both Democrats and Republicans regarding the agreement, may test the bullish sentiment for the British pound.
Furthermore, with the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) nearing the 50.0 level and a bullish MACD signal challenging the bearish sentiment, the downside target for GBP/USD is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the March to early May uptrend, currently around 1.2380.
Afterward, the key resistance near the upper channel at 1.2400, if breached, would negate the bearish bias and attract buyers for the British pound.
However, the convergence of the 200-period exponential moving average (EMA) and the 100-period EMA around 1.2440-45 poses strong resistance for GBP/USD buyers, and a breakout above this level would shift the market sentiment back in favor of the bulls.
Additionally, the recent swing low near 1.2300 and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level near 1.2295 provide support and limit the downside potential for GBP/USD. The lower boundary of the mentioned channel at 1.2285 also acts as a key short-term support level.
Overall, GBP/USD may experience a corrective bounce, but the bearish trend remains intact until a breakout above the 1.2440-45 resistance zone.

Times are tough for the rupee as it again slipped to 95 against the USD towards the end of April 2026 after some gains due to the RBI-led interventions early this month. The depreciation is largely attributable to surging crude oil prices. The prices climbed to their 3-year high over the US-Iran conflict. On April 30, 2026, the rupee opened at 95.02 mark against the USD, sliding 0.2% from its previous day’s ending at 94.84 against the greenback. As the day progressed, it slipped further to a new record low of 95.32 against the USD, beating the earlier fall of 95.22 in March 2026.
