GBP/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

Following last week's three-day advance since Wednesday, the 1.3000 figure is up for grabs, with the GBP/USD trading near a 12-month high yet shy of the July 27, 2023, high of 1.2995.

Momentum remains bullish, though it has shifted overbought, but due to the strength of the uptrend, some traders see the 80 level as the most extreme.

Therefore, the GBP/USD next resistance would be 1.2995-1.3000. Once that level is cleared, the next stop would be July 19, 2023, high at 1.3041, before testing the July 18, 2023, peak of 1.3126. Up next would be last year's high at 1.3142
