Exchange Rates 12.08.2021 analysis

GBP/USD is easing towards 1.3850, undermined by mixed UK growth and industrial numbers. The cautious market mood lifts the US dollar's safe-haven demand, adding to the weight on the pair. Focus shifts to the US data.

GBP/USD bulls take a breather around 1.3870-65, after snapping a three-day uptrend amid Thursday's Asian session. The cable pair dropped to the lowest level in 12 days before bouncing off 1.3802 the previous day. In doing so, the quote portrays a bullish flag formation on the four-hour (4H) play. In addition to the upside favoring chart pattern, the pair's sustained trading above fibonacci 38.2% and steady RSI, modest as well, keep GBP/USD buyers hopeful.

However, a convergence of the flag's upper line and early July's top surrounding 1.3910 becomes strong resistance for the bulls to cross before aiming the previous month's high near 1.3985 and the 1.4000 threshold.
