GBP/USD 4H Technical Analysis: Bulls Test Range Resistance
Lismore Burke
October 14, 2026
GBP/USD has staged a strong recovery from
the lower end of its recent trading range, climbing back toward the 1.3293
resistance level. The pair is now testing the upper boundary of a consolidation
zone that has contained price action since late September.
1.3293 Resistance Remains the Key Level
The most important level on the chart is
the 1.3293 resistance zone, highlighted by the upper blue horizontal line.
Previous rallies into this area have struggled to gain follow-through, making
it a key hurdle for buyers.
A sustained move above this level would
signal a potential shift in market sentiment and open the door to a move toward
the higher volume areas around 1.3350–1.3400.
Point of Control Supports the Recovery
The volume profile shows the Point of
Control (POC) at 1.3229, marked by the black horizontal line. This level
represents the highest concentration of trading activity and has acted as an
important pivot throughout the consolidation.
Price has successfully reclaimed and held
above the POC, suggesting buyers have regained control of the range's value
area.
Volume Profile
While price is approaching resistance, the
volume profile shows substantial participation above current levels,
particularly between 1.3350 and 1.3550. This suggests that if resistance gives
way, there is room for price to explore higher value areas.
RSI Reflects Improving Momentum
The RSI has climbed to approximately 61.5,
moving firmly above the neutral 50 level. Momentum has strengthened steadily
from the recent lows, indicating growing buying interest as GBP/USD approaches
resistance.
Although momentum is constructive, the
indicator remains below overbought territory, leaving room for further upside
should buyers maintain control.
