GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Climbs beyond 200-hour SMA to test ascending trend-channel resistance

   “¢   The pair built on its recent bounce from over two-month lows and continued gaining some positive traction for the third consecutive session on Tuesday.

   “¢   The momentum has now lifted the pair above 200-hour SMA to test a resistance marked by the top end of a short-term ascending trend-channel formation.  

   “¢   Technical indicators on hourly charts have been gaining positive traction and support prospects for an extension of the ongoing recovery momentum.  

   “¢   Meanwhile, the mentioned hurdle coincides with a previous confluence support break-point – comprising of 200-day SMA and a descending triangle pattern support.  

   “¢   With oscillators on the daily chart are yet to catch up with the up-move, any subsequent recovery seems more likely to fizzle out near the key 1.30 psychological mark.
