According to United Overseas Bank (UOB) strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann, the British Pound (GBP) experienced higher-than-expected volatility against the US Dollar (USD), with GBP/USD trading between 1.3376 and 1.3463 in the latest session [1]. Despite this volatility, UOB analysts believe that upward momentum remains limited, suggesting that while a retest of the 1.3465 level is possible, a sustained move above this point is unlikely. The major resistance at 1.3530 is not expected to be challenged in the near term [1].
For the coming weeks, UOB maintains its view that GBP/USD will continue to trade within a broader range of 1.3330 to 1.3530, with 1.3300 identified as a key medium-term support level. A break below this support could signal deeper downside for the currency pair [1]. Immediate supports are noted at 1.3405 and 1.3385 [1].
No specific market reactions or analyst opinions regarding broader market implications were discussed in the article. The analysis remains focused on technical levels and anticipated price action within the defined range [1].
CONCLUSION
UOB strategists see the British Pound trading within a defined range against the US Dollar, with limited upside and key resistance and support levels identified. The outlook remains neutral, with no expectation of a breakout above major resistance or significant downside unless key support is breached.
