• Immediate support emerges at 1.2000; key resistance at 14-day EMA at 1.2162.

GBP/USD hovers around the 1.2120 level with a negative tone during the Asian session on Monday. The pair moves sideways ahead of the policy meetings of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) on Wednesday and the Bank of England (BoE) meeting on Thursday.

The GBP/USD pair could find immediate support at the 1.2000 psychological level. A firm break below the level could open the doors for the pair to navigate the region near the monthly low at 1.2037 level.

A firm breakthrough above the latter could support the GBP/USD pair to explore the area around the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at the 1.2298 level.
