Abstract:GBP/USD remains subdued within a two-week bearish channel, facing resistance at a crucial confluence of key moving averages. The relative strength index (RSI) holds steady and the MACD signal is bullish, providing some respite for GBP bears. The 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level and previous monthly low act as attractive levels for short positions.

In early Monday's Asian session, GBP/USD retreated to 1.2345, losing momentum after a rebound from the two-month low seen the previous day. As a result, GBP/USD remains within the descending channel formed two weeks ago.
It's worth noting that if policymakers in Congress approve a temporary debt agreement, the latest preliminary deal on the US debt ceiling extension could lead to a pullback in the recent gains of the US dollar. However, Monday's holiday in the US and UK, along with recent dissatisfaction expressed by both Democrats and Republicans regarding the agreement, may test the bullish sentiment for the British pound.
Furthermore, with the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) nearing the 50.0 level and a bullish MACD signal challenging the bearish sentiment, the downside target for GBP/USD is the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the March to early May uptrend, currently around 1.2380.
Afterward, the key resistance near the upper channel at 1.2400, if breached, would negate the bearish bias and attract buyers for the British pound.
However, the convergence of the 200-period exponential moving average (EMA) and the 100-period EMA around 1.2440-45 poses strong resistance for GBP/USD buyers, and a breakout above this level would shift the market sentiment back in favor of the bulls.
Additionally, the recent swing low near 1.2300 and the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level near 1.2295 provide support and limit the downside potential for GBP/USD. The lower boundary of the mentioned channel at 1.2285 also acts as a key short-term support level.
Overall, GBP/USD may experience a corrective bounce, but the bearish trend remains intact until a breakout above the 1.2440-45 resistance zone.

Have you experienced issues with Pepperstone deposit & withdrawal processing? From your experience, do you feel that the Australia-based forex broker causes losses to its clients? Did the brokerage entity freeze your account and give you a margin call? All these trading allegations have been rampant on broker review platforms such as WikiFX. This Pepperstone review article takes a close look at the user complaints, especially in 2026. Additionally, we have given an overview of the regulatory framework under which the brokerage entity operates.

Some broker comparisons end with a confident "go with this one." This is not one of them — and that honesty is exactly what makes it worth reading. Wundersys and tradgrip are two young, offshore-registered brokers that keep popping up in front of beginner traders, often through aggressive online marketing. Both promise the usual buffet: tight spreads, generous leverage, multiple account tiers. And both, according to WikiFX, sit near the very bottom of the safety scale. So instead of crowning a champion, this comparison is really about something more useful: learning to read the warning signs, understanding the small differences that still matter, and knowing why "the better of two risky options" is still a conversation about risk.

If you trade forex from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, or Nepal, you already know the quiet truth that eats into every trader's results: it is not just the market that decides whether you profit — it is the cost of getting in and out of each trade. Shave a couple of dollars off your commission on every lot, multiply it across hundreds of trades a year, and you are looking at the difference between a strategy that works and one that bleeds out slowly. South Asian traders are some of the most cost-conscious in the world, and rightly so. So we pulled the data on the brokers most often recommended for the region, cross-checked every name on WikiFX, and ranked them by the one number that matters most here: what they actually charge you to trade. Before the list, one quick lesson that will make this whole ranking click.
