GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Rising Wedge and overbought condition are not enough to stop the bullish advance to 1.3300 target

  • GBP/USD main bear trend is on hold for the sixth consecutive week.  
  • GBP/USD is trading above its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages which are starting to rise and widen suggesting building bullish momentum. Although GBP/USD is trading in a rising wedge (green lines) and the Stochastics indicator is in overbought conditions the current bull trend is strong as bears have been rather absent from the market for the last six weeks.
  • The next objective for bulls is to overcome the 1.3200 figure in order to reach the 1.3300 level.
