- GBPUSD seems to be creating a bull flag on the hourly chart.
- A breakout, if confirmed, could yield a rally to 1.3242.
GBP/USD is reporting marginal gains at 1.3040 at press time, having dropped 0.20% on Thursday.
More importantly, the pullback from the high of 1.3102 reached on May 1 has taken the shape of a bull flag, as seen on the hourly chart. That pattern essentially represents a pause, which usually refreshes higher.
A move above the upper edge of the flag, currently at 1.3060, will confirm a flag breakout and would create room for a rally to 1.3242 (target as per the measured move method) – more so, with the daily chart reporting a falling wedge breakout (bearish-to-bullish trend change).
The bullish case, however, would weaken if the pair falls below the 200-day moving average support, currently at 1.2984.
