The most recent testing of this 100-day EMA occurred in early
May (red arrow 2 on chart). The pair broke out above the moving average line on
May 5 and reached a new high around 1.5805 since the April low. Note also that the
RSI is making a lower low while the pair is forming a higher low, which is a
potential positive reversal signal.
GBP/USD failed to break out above the 100-day EMA on February
26 (red arrow 1 on chart). Watch closely the price action against the 100-day
EMA. If this moving average remains as support and the RSI moves above 50,
price could trade higher to test 1.5500-1.5550 area, and potentially 1.5805
level.
To the downside, if price cannot hold the 100-day EMA, more
downward pressure would be expecting for the following trading sessions. Price could
decline to test 1.4950 area again.
