- GBP/USD is trading near the daily high as bulls have currently found support at the 1.3100 figure.
- Bulls objective is to break above the current daily high and the 1.3155 resistance while bears will try to resume the bear trend. However, as the bulls have regained 1.3100 and the 50 and 100-periods simple moving average they currently have a slight advantage over bears.
- The 30-pip bounce coincides with the release of the Gross Domestic Product Annualized (GDP) for the second quarter which came in line with expectations at 4.1% while the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures for the second quarter came slightly below expectations at 2% versus 2.2% forecast.
