GBP/USD Technical Analysis: The 1.2800 figure becomes the level to beat for Cable bulls

  • GBP/USD is trading in a bear trend below the 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart.  
  • GBP/USD had an 80-pip rebound after it dipped just below 1.2700 figure. Bulls would need a break above the bearish trendline and a close above 1.2800 on a daily closing basis in order to regain some strength.  
  • The MACD indicator had a bullish crossover but in the short-term, until GBP/USD stays below 1.2800 it remains susceptible to bearish incursions.
