GBPUSD

Cable overall picture remains bullish, with near-term price action being in consolidating mode, established within 1.7100/1.7175 range. Near-term studies are neutral, despite brief spike below 1.71 support, as the price recovered ground quickly. Further consolidation is seen as likely near-term scenario, while 1.71 handle stays intact. However, caution is required as long as the price holds at the lower part of the range, as fresh attempt at range’s floor and potential break lower would signal stronger pullback.

Res: 1.7146; 1.7165; 1.7177; 1.7200
Sup: 1.7124; 1.7100; 1.7083; 1.7061
