GBP/USD exhausted near 1.4890
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The GBP/USD pair has been struggling to extend gains above 1.4890 levels since the early European session, repeatedly falling short of the hourly 50-MA located at 1.4901.
Cable stuck in a range
The pair has been restricted to a range of 1.4850-1.4890 since the start of the European session. The risk-on mood seen in the early European session helped the pair sustain above 1.4850. However, the weakness in the UK gilt yields, amid rising expectations of a delay in the interest rate hike in the UK has capped gains around 1.4890 levels.
The breakout from the range could be seen once the US durable goods report is released. An upbeat report could push the pair well below 1.4850, while a weaker-than-expected print could lead to an upside breakout from the pair.
GBP/USD Technical Levels
The pair currently trades at 1.4877. The immediate resistance is seen at 1.4890, above which gains could be extended to 1.4930. On the flip side, a break below 1.4850 could push the pair down to 1.4810.
