The
Pound
Sterling
extended
its
gains
on
Thursday
following
better-than-expected
data
from
the
UK
as
the
economy
expanded
above
estimates.
US
inflation
missed
the
mark,
coming
softer
a
headwind
for
the
Greenback.
Therefore,
the
GBP/USD
trades
at
1.2927,
up
0.62%.
From
a
technical
standpoint,
the
GBP/USD
uptrend
remains
intact.
The
pair
hit
a
new
year-to-date
(YTD)
high
after
clearing
the
March
8
high
of
1.2894.
Momentum
favors
buyers
as
the
Relative
Strength
Index
(RSI)
stands
bullish,
slightly
beneath
overbought
conditions.
Therefore,
if
GBP/USD
pushes
above
1.2950,
that
could
pave
the
way
for
testing
the
July
27,
2023,
peak
of
1.2995,
ahead
of
testing
1.3000.
Further
upside
is
seen
once
cleared
on
July
14,
2023,
at
a
high
of
1.3142.
On
the
flip
side,
if
GBP/USD
tumbles
below
1.2900,
the
pair
could
be
set
for
a
pullback.
The
next
support
would
be
1.2894,
followed
by
the
June
12
high
turned
support
at
1.2860
and
the
1.2800
mark.
