GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable trading near daily lows, bulls hoping for a rebound above 1.3200

  • GBP/USD had a muted reaction following the release of the FOMC minutes as the pair continued its consolidation after GBP/USD lost about 65 pips from the daily highs printed at 1.3275.  
  • GBP/USD has been pushing higher for the last four days, however, the move higher is seen as a bear flag by bears who have been selling during the four-day pullback. On the other hand, bulls see the move as the start of a new bull trend. A bull breakout above the current weekly high at 1.3275 might see some bears giving up and new bulls entering the market.  
  • The NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) report this Friday should offer some great volatility.
