  • GBP/USD got a strong 50-pip boost in early European trading finding support near the 1.3070  level.  GBP/USD is now close to the weekly high and investors are debating whether to breakout above 1.3155 or to resume the main bear trend.  
  • The market is currently having a pullback from the daily highs and a retest of 1.3100 should act as short-term support. A breakout below 1.3070 could be seen as a sign of bullish weakness.
  • As it stands bulls have a slight advantage and given the bullish pressure a breakout above 1.3155 would not be surprising.
