**BREAKING: Sterling Maintains Range Against Dollar as Support Holds**
The British pound avoided testing critical support levels against the US dollar on Wednesday, according to analysis from United Overseas Bank strategists Quek Ser Leang and Lee Sue Ann. GBP/USD rebounded sharply after reaching an intraday low of 1.3152, rallying to 1.3218 before settling at 1.3190 by session close. The pair notably failed to breach the major support threshold at 1.3110 that traders had been monitoring closely.
The price action suggests continued range-bound trading for the currency pair, with technical resistance preventing further downside pressure. The rebound from 1.3152 indicates buyer interest remains intact at current levels, supporting short-term stability for sterling. This development matters for forex traders managing GBP positions and institutions with dollar-pound exposure, as the maintained support level provides a clearer technical framework for near-term positioning.

** Traders should watch whether GBP/USD can sustain above 1.3150 support, as a decisive break below could trigger momentum toward the 1.3110 level and signal broader weakness ahead.
