GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable Tsunami – GBP/USD jumps 150 pips as Germany and UK are said to drop key Brexit demands – Beginning of the end of the bull trend

FX Street
  • Bulls are challenging the GBP/USD main bear trend as the market jumped more than 150  pips in a few minutes after it has been reported that the UK and Germany drop critical Brexit demands.
  • GBP/USD is breaking through 1.2957 July 19 key swing low as the bears are selling their positions at a loss and new bulls are jumping in.  
  • GBP/USD is now back above the 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving average and the next main target is 1.3050 swing high. A breakout above it would most likely put an end to the protracted bear trend.  A bear breakout below 1.2800 would invalidate the bullish bias.
