The Pound Sterling recovered some ground and rose 0.18% on Tuesday against the US Dollar following a strong UK jobs report that pushed the unemployment rate lower, while the economy added over 373,000 jobs, crushing estimates of 250,000. At the time of writing, the GBP/USD trades at 1.3081 after bouncing off the daily low of 1.3035.
The GBP/USD remains consolidated, within the 1.3000-1.3100 range for the sixth consecutive day, even though the pair hit a high of 1.3102.
Momentum remains slightly bearish, as shown by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but as the RSI edges toward its 50-neutral line, it could pave the way for further upside.
If GBP/USD strengthens further, the next stop would be the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 1.3112. Once surpassed, buyers could target the October 4 daily high at 1.3174, ahead of the 1.3200 figure.
On the other hand, if GBP/USD stays below 1.3100, this could expose the 1.3050 psychological level. The next support would be the October 10 swing low of 1.3010, followed by the September 11 daily low of 1.3001.
