GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Positive momentum fizzles near a confluence resistance

   “¢   The pair’s goodish recovery move from YTD lows stalls near a confluence resistance, comprising of 200-hour SMA and 50% Fibonacci of the 1.3363-1.2957 recent downfall.

   “¢   Meanwhile, technical indicators on the hourly chart continue to hold in positive territory and might attract some dip-buying interest at lower levels.  

   “¢   However, a convincing break below 1.3080-75 support area would mark the end of a corrective bounce and negate prospects for any further recovery in the near-term.
