  • GBP/USD is trading higher for the sixth consecutive day. It is currently trading near the daily low at around 1.3190.  
  • GBP/USD broke above a daily trendline suggesting that a sustained breakout above 1.3200 could mean the end of the main bear trend. It could lead to a bear capitulation and an acceleration of the current bull leg.  On the other hand, failure to conclusively breakout above 1.3200 should lead to sideways trading at best and a resumption of the bear trend at worst.  
  • The major hurdles to overcome for bulls are the 1.3200, 1.3230 and 1.3250 levels. Cable bulls have currently the short-term trend on their side but they will have to prove their strength in taking over the 1.3200 level.
