GBP Price Chart

On the intraday chart, the steep fall that happened two days back has taken the price to mark a weekly low around 1.216. GBP/USD is lacking a steady momentum and is moderately volatile in the intraday due to the growing effects of Coronavirus in Britain.

On the flip side, the US Dollar is benefitting from the hopes of negative Fed rate and increased quantitative easing for the upliftment of the economy. Although, the United States is one of the superpowers that has been affected the most from this ongoing Pandemic and will need a plan when the country gets ready to rebound in order to maintain the charm of the greenback as the standard reserve currency.

On the downside, Pound has the major support at 1.216 and the major resistance at 1.23 against the American Dollar.
