GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable marching towards monthly highs now above 1.3200 figure

  • GBP/USD is in a bull trend above the 200-period simple moving average.  
  • GBP/USD broke above the 1.3200 level and is currently in a small pullback from recent daily highs. The bull trend remains intact as the RSI, MACD and Stochastic indicators are all bearishly configured.  The next objective for bulls will be to reach 1.3259 (October 12 high) to then travel towards 1.3300. Support is seen near the 1.3200 figure and 1.3140 level (current October 16 low).
  • A bear breakout below 1.3140 on a daily closing basis would be a warning signal for bulls.
