GBP/USD Technical Analysis: bulls take a breather near 200-hour SMA

   “¢   The post-BoE upsurge takes out a confluence resistance on the 1-hourly chart and now seems to have negated near-term bearish outlook.  

   “¢   A follow-through technical buying beyond 200-hour SMA would reinforce the bullish expectations and lift the pair back towards weekly tops.

   “¢   Technical indicators are yet to catch up with the momentum and could be the only factor leading to some consolidation before the next leg of up-move.
