GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable bulls taking a well-deserved breather after 350-pip bull-run as NFP boosts USD

  • GBP/USD is trading in a bear trend below the 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart.  
  • GBP/USD is retreating below the 1.3000 figure after the Nonfarm Payrolls in the US showed 250K vs. 190K forecast in October.  
  • GBP/USD enjoyed a 350-pip bull run in the last two days and is now consolidating the gains. A pullback to 1.2947 might be on the cards as the 200 SMA is capping and the RSI and Stochastic indicators are in overbought condition.
