GBP/USD Technical Analysis: The recent slide down finds some support above 1.3100 figure

  • GBP/USD is trading in a bull trend above the 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart.
  • GBP/USD found some support above the 1.3100 figure and the 100-period simple moving average as the bulls have momentarily halted the recent slide down. The RSI, MACD and Stochastic are  still in bearish territories suggesting that the bulls still have work to do to be back in control.  The next resistance to the upside is likely located near 1.3140 (October 16 low) and 1.3200 figure.  
  • A bear breakout below 1.3100 on a daily closing basis would invalidate the bullish bias.
