This steadfast performance comes despite the tightening measures implemented by the Bank of England (BoE).
The GBP/USD pair could meet the resistance barrier at 1.2650. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line, positioned above the centerline and exhibiting divergence above the signal line, implies a strong momentum in the GBP/USD pair.
Additionally, the technical indicators for the GBP/USD pair are signaling a bullish outlook. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) above the 50 level indicates upward support, suggesting that the pair could reach the 1.2700 psychological level followed by September’s high at 1.2712.

A decisive break below the level could push the GBP/USD pair to navigate the next support area around the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 1.2504 lined up with the 1.2500 psychological level.
