GBP/USD has just emerged above 1.25, up 0.25% on a day, amidst general US dollar weakness. Karen Jones, Team Head FICC Technical Analysis Research at Commerzbank, targets the 1.2684 200-DMA after the initial resistance at 1.2517. Key quotes “GBP/USD has recovered off the 1.2247 mid-April low. Initial resistance is the 20-day ma at 1.2517 and this guards the 200-day ma at 1.2684 and we suspect this may hold the initial test. Above 1.2684 targets the 78.6% retracement at 1.2818 (of the move down from the March peak) and the 200-week ma at 1.2911.” “Below the 1.2247 support lies the 1.2203 channel and while above here we will assume an upside bias.” FX Street FX Street FXStreet is the leading independent portal dedicated to the Foreign Exchange (Forex) market.
