GBP/USD Surges Past Key Resistance
Solid ECN—The GBP/USD currency pair broke out from the descending trendline and the 50-period simple moving average. As a result, the price rose and tested the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.269, then returned to test the broken trendline. The technical indicators suggest the bullish uptrend should prevail, and the price has room to grow.
From a technical perspective, the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.266 is key support for the current uptick momentum. Hence, if the price remains above this level, it is likely for the bulls to retest the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, and if the buying pressure exceeds 1.269, the next bullish target could be the 78.6% retracement level at 1.271.
Conversely, a dip below 1.266 should cancel the bullish scenario.
