- GBP/USD is trading in a bull trend above the 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart.
- GBP/USD is supported above the 1.3100 figure and the 100-period simple moving average post-FOMC minutes. The RSI, MACD and Stochastic indicators are in bearish territories suggesting that the bulls still have to work their way up if they want to regain control of the market. The market is set to grind higher as long as 1.3000 figure holds. The next resistance to the upside is most likely located near 1.3140 (October 16 low) and 1.3200 figure.
- A bearish break below 1.3100 on a daily closing basis would invalidate the bullish bias.
