GBP/USD Technical Analysis: A bull breakout above 1.2940 swing high can open the gates to more upside

FX Street
  • Bulls are challenging the main bear trend as they broke above a multi-month bear trendline and they are challenging 1.2937 swing high.  
  • GBP/USD is evolving in a bull channel with rising 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages, suggesting bullish momentum. GBP/USD is challenging the 1.2937 swing high, a break above the level can have strong bullish implication as the market would start making higher highs on the daily chart. The next targets are 1.2957 (July 19 swing low) and 1.3082-1.3100 (supply/demand level and figure).
  • A sustained bear breakout below 1.2800 would invalidate the bullish bias.
