GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Bulls gearing up for a move towards 1.2800 neighborhood, 50-DMA

   “¢   The pair caught some aggressive bids and rallied to mid-1.2700s, or near three-week tops at the start of a new trading week.  

   “¢   The pair now seems to have found acceptance above two-week old trading range hurdle, confirming a near-term bullish break-out.

GBP/USD daily chart

   “¢   Technical indicators on 4-hourly/daily charts have been gaining positive traction and support prospects for additional gains.

   “¢   The fact that the pair is holding above important moving averages – 50, 100 & 200-hour SMAs, add credence to the bullish set-up.  

   “¢   Hence, a follow-through up-move, towards testing 50-day SMA around the 1.2790-1.2800 region, now looks a distinct possibility.

   “¢   However, slightly overbought oscillators on the 1-hourly chart warrant some caution amid relatively thin liquidity conditions.
