GBP/USDdrops to 1.3250 area as dollar regains strength

December 5, 2021

GBP/USD spiked above 1.3300 in the early American session with the initial market reaction to the gloomy US November jobs report. However, the greenback regathered strength on hawkish Fed commentary and forced the pair to turn south.

On the four-hour chart, GBP/USD trades below the 20-period and the 50-period SMAs. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator stays below 50, suggesting that sellers are starting to dominate the pair’s action in the near term.

Currently, GBP/USD is testing 1.3280 static support. In case this level turns into resistance, the next target on the downside aligns at 1.3240 (static level) before 1.3200/1.3195 (psychological level/ November 30 low).

Resistances are located at 13300 (psychological level, 20-period SMA), 1.3320 (50-period SMA) and 13360 (static level).
