GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable bulls going for the reversal up at 1.2800 figure

  • GBP/USD sellers are keeping the main bear trend going as GBP/USD is trading below its 200-period simple moving average (SMA) on the 4-hour chart.
  • GBP/USD is finding some support above 1.2800 August 24 swing low. The market broke above the tight bear channel and bulls are currently trying to put an end to the bear leg of the last four days.  If bulls manage to break above 1.2900, it would be considered a strong bullish statement which could lead to an acceleration towards 1.2957 July 19 swing low and 1.3000 figure.  
  • A bear breakout below 1.2800 would invalidate the short-term bullish reversal.
