GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Trapped in a descending triangle

  • Trapped in a descending triangle, the GBP/USD pair is currently trading at 1.2770.
  • At press time, the triangle resistance is located 1.2809 and support is seen at 1.2725.
  • A break above 1.2809 would confirm a descending triangle breakout or bearish-to-bullish trend change. Essentially,   a close above 1.2809 would mean the sell-off from the Nov. 7 high of 1.3175 has likely ended at 1.2723 (Nov. 15 low) and the bulls have regained control.
  • A bull breakout, if confirmed, would open the doors to 1.30 (psychological hurdle).
