GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Sterling squash USD bulls expectations as Cable is back to daily highs

  • Pound bulls created a strong bull reversal from the 1.3320 level and are currently challenging the high of the day near the 1.3400 level.  
  • GBP bulls see the consolidation since June 7  as a bull flag, therefore a strong breakout above the upper descending trendline and the 1.3400-1.3425 area could lead to higher prices.  
  • On the other hand, if GBP/USD stays contained below the upper descending trendline and the 1.3400-1.3425 area, the trading range should remains in place for the time being.
