Daily Price Outlook 

- GBP/USD steadies near $1.26099, with potential double bottom at $1.25997.

- Resistance ahead at $1.27174; pivot point aligns with 50-day EMA at $1.26982.

- Bullish possibility if Doji candlestick signal holds; consider buying above $1.25994.

The British Pound is trading cautiously against the US Dollar, with GBP/USD at $1.26099, teetering near a crucial technical juncture. The currency pair’s activity is hovering just above a significant support level at $1.25997, forming a potential double bottom pattern—a bullish technical formation that often precedes a reversal. The Doji candlestick that has emerged above this support level suggests indecision but could also signal a gathering bullish momentum if buyers begin to outweigh sellers.

The pivot point, a dynamic marker of price equilibrium, stands at $1.26982, with the pair currently operating below this threshold. Resistance levels are identified at $1.27174, $1.27478, and $1.27748, each potentially capping upward movements. Conversely, immediate support lies at the double bottom of $1.25997, with subsequent support anticipated at $1.25143 and $1.24782.

The RSI is positioned at 46, indicating that the pair is not in an extreme territory and may have room for upward movement. The 50-day EMA at $1.26982 coincides with the pivot point, reinforcing the significance of this price level as a determinant for the pair’s near-term trajectory.

In conclusion, while the GBP/USD displays potential for a bullish resurgence, this is contingent on the pair's ability to sustain above the double bottom support level. The recommended trading approach is to consider long positions above an entry price of $1.25994, targeting a profit at $1.26588, while maintaining a stop loss at $1.25619 to manage risk.
