GBP/USD has preserved its bullish momentum following Wednesday's rally and touched its highest level since late October near 1.3750. The dollar's valuation continues to drive the pair's action but the technical developments suggest that the pair may need to make a downward correction before stretching higher.

GBP/USD analysis: US CPI surge reaches 1.3750

The surge of the GBP/USD that was caused by the US Consumer Price Index release has reached the 1.3750 level's resistance.
