GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Retreats from 4-1/2 month tops amid slightly overbought conditions

   “¢   The pair continued gaining strong positive traction the mid-European session on Tuesday and climbed further beyond the 1.3200 handle, hitting the highest level since mid-October.

   “¢   Hope for either a Brexit extension or that the UK PM May might rule out a no-deal Brexit outcome turned out to be one of the key factors fueling the ongoing strong positive momentum.  

   “¢   Meanwhile, a sustained move beyond the 1.3100 handle was seen as a key trigger for intraday bullish traders and behind a strong 140-pips intraday up-move to levels beyond the 1.3200 mark.

   “¢   However, slightly overstretched technical indicators on hourly charts kept a lid on any strong follow-through ahead of the UK PM Theresa May’s statement in the parliament later today.

   “¢   Any positive headlines might be enough to provide an additional boost and easily lift the pair further beyond the 1.3250-60 intermediate hurdle towards reclaiming the 1.3300 handle.
