GBPUSD has recovered from Tuesday’s low and attention is on 1.2550, the Feb 5 high. Clearance of this level would confirm a clear break of the 20- and 50-day EMAs, and strengthen a bullish theme. This would signal scope for a climb towards 1.2610, a Fibonacci retracement. Key short-term support to watch has been defined at 1.2249, the Feb 3 low. Initial support lies at 1.2333, the Feb 11 low.
