GBP/USD Technical Analysis: GBP/USD currently supported above 1.2957 key level

  • GBP/USD is consolidating the gains of the last weeks in a bull flag above 1.2957 level which has been a key level in the last months of trading.
  • GBP/USD broke below its 200-period simple moving average and below the bear trendline (blue) while the MACD and Stochastics are displaying divergence with the current price. GBP/USD is equally finding support above the key 1.2957 level (July 19 swing low).
  • Bulls objective is to reclaim 1.3000 to target 1.3200 figure. A bear breakout below 1.2957 would be seen as bearish and invalidate the bullish reversal.
