FX.co ★ GBP/USD Hot Forecast on 18 March

GBP/USD stays on the back foot on Friday and declines toward 1.3100 with the dollar continuing to gather strength. Supported by safe-haven flows, the US Dollar Index is up more than 0.5% on a daily basis above 98.50.

GBP/USD was last seen trading below 1.3150 (Fibonacci 38.2% retracement of the latest downtrend). If this level turns into resistance, the next bearish targets are located at 1.3100 (Fibonacci 23.6% retracement, 50-period SMA on the four-hour chart) and 1.3050 (static level).

On the flip side, the pair could rise toward 1.3200 (psychological level, Fibonacci 50% retracement) if it manages to reclaim 1.3150 on the back of risk flows.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is edging lower toward 50, confirming the loss of bullish momentum.
