• GBP/USD hovers around a major level at 1.2750.
• 21-day EMA at 1.2684 appears as an immediate support followed by the major level at 1.2650.
• The lagging indicator MACD suggests a degree of caution among investors.

GBP/USD halts a four-day winning streak, trading lower near 1.2750 during the early European session on Tuesday. The GBP/USD pair is at a critical juncture, and the possibility of a break below the major level raises the potential for further downward pressure. The 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.2684 serves as an immediate support level to monitor.

A breach below the 21-day EMA could signal increased selling pressure, and the pair might then approach the major support at 1.2650. This level, aligned with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 1.2643, adds technical significance to the support zone.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) being positioned above the 50 level is a positive sign, indicating bullish momentum for the GBP/USD pair. An RSI above 50 generally suggests that buying pressure is prevailing, and it aligns with the notion of an upward outlook for the pair.

In addition, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator also provides interesting insights. The fact that the MACD line is above the centerline is a bullish signal, suggesting potential upward momentum. However, the convergence below the signal line may indicate a degree of caution among investors.

On the upside, the GBP/USD pair could reach the previous week’s high at 1.2771. A breach above the latter could support the GBP/USD pair to explore the region around the psychological level at 1.2800 followed by December’s high at 1.2827
