GBP/USD: Could Cable trade consistently in the 1.27 area? [Video]
The near term importance of holding on to the neckline of the small base pattern at $1.2540 is key as it maintains the prospect of a continued recovery on Cable. An uptrend formation of the past two weeks is also holding. It means that this near term recovery is now testing the resistance of a much bigger, seven month downtrend on Cable, which comes in at $1.2690 today. A strong start to Monday’s trading is now building on the strengthening of momentum now, with RSI into the low 60s, MACD lines finding positive traction from a bull cross at neutral.

GBP/USD bullish but sellers wait at 1.2707
The GBP/USD is where sellers could be. At this point the price is bullish but watch for M H4 rejection if the price gets closer.

Moreover, the incoming positive economic data has been fueling hopes of a sharp V-shaped global economic recovery. The optimism was evident from a positive tone across the global equity markets, which undermined the greenback's safe-haven status and provided an early lift to the pair. Read More...
