GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable bulls strength being tested at 1.3200 figure

  • GBP/USD bears have reversed all previous gains made this Monday and are en route to last Friday’s lows at 1.3203.  
  • Today’s sell-off suggests that GBP/USD last 300-pip run-up since June 28 might be a bear flag in a bear trend as opposed as the start of a new bull trend. A bear breakout below the 1.3200 figure might see the bull crowded trade unwind.  
  • On the other hand, if bulls manage to keep the market above 1.3200 and reclaim Monday’s high, it would suggest that the bull trend is quite strong and higher prices might be ahead.
