GBP/USD Technical Analysis: King Dollar gets pounded as GBP/USD runs up to 1.3100 figure

  • GBP/USD gained about 80 pips this Friday as the bulls managed to break above the 1.3100 level.  
  • Short-term momentum appears to have switched to bullish as GBP/USD is trading well-above all its main simple moving averages.  
  • Support is likely located near 1.3049 June 28 low and a bear breakout below the level would be seen as a sign of bullish weakness and a potential resumption of the bear trend.
