- GBP/USD main trend is on hold as bulls have taken control of the market for the 6th day in a row.
- GBP/USD is at a crossroad as it is now challenging a daily trendline. If bulls manage to break above it along with the 1.2957 resistance, GBP/USD is seen accelerating the bull counter-move up.
- Bulls are currently trying to find support at the lower trendline (orange) just below the 50-period simple moving average. While a pullback to 1.2800 is still possible, the current momentum is bullish and 1.2957 target is still on the cards for Cable bulls. A deeper pullback scenario is drawn in the chart below.
- A sustained bear breakout below 1.2800 would invalidate the bullish bias.
