GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Bullish pressure is here to stay - GBP/USD can reach 1.3300 figure

GBP/USD main bear trend is on hold for the sixth consecutive week as bulls are working at creating a bullish reversal.
GBP/USD is challenging the highs made last week as the market found support just above the 1.3050 support and the bull trendline (green line of the rising wedge). GBP/USD is trading well-above its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart while the RSI, MACD and Stochastics are constructive to the upside; all suggesting that bulls should give no respite in the near future.
If 1.3144 (last week high) is broken to the upside the next targets become 1.3200 figure (key support/resistance) and then 1.3300 figure is the scaling point.
