GBP/USD Price Analysis: Further upside hinges on 1.2310 breakout, UK inflation

GBP/USD struggles to extend the weekly rebound as bulls take a breather around 1.2275 during Wednesday’s Asian session. In doing so, the cable pair funnels down to the short-term triangle break. However, the quote’s successful trading above the 100-HMA and 200-HMA, as well as the RSI’s support to the recent higher lows on prices, keeps the pair buyers hopeful.

GBP/USD: Looks cheap for good reason

I’m tempted to look at a higher time frame chart of GBP/USD and say it looks cheap. Whether the pound has fallen due to the flash crash or COVID-19 concerns, buyers have always been quick to snap up GBP/USD anywhere between 1.24 and 1.16 levels. That might ultimately hold out to be true, but I’m not completely convinced that history will repeat itself.

The market is paying for insurance, not apocalypse

As expected, this morning felt less like a Monday market open and more like a fire drill. Futures screens flickered red. S&P contracts down almost 1%. Nasdaq off 1.2%. Brent leaped 13% through $80. Gold rose 1.6% toward $5350 before paring some gains. The dollar is strutting mildly. The Swiss franc is quietly doing what it always does in a storm, catching some safe-haven flows.
