GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable rises 70 pips from 1.3100 figure

  • GBP/USD is currently rebounding from the 1.3100 figure after GBP/USD lost about a 100 pips from Asia.  
  • GBP/USD bulls are trying to create a bull reversal but they would need to overcome the bearish trendline and the 200-period simple moving average, all converging in the 1.3200 zone.  
  • Although GBP/USD is in a bullish consolidation, the momentum remains bearish below 1.3200. The bears objective is to claim the 1.3100 figure in order to target the current 2018 low at 1.3049.
