GBPUSD is consolidating and this pause in uptrend appears to be a bull flag - a bullish pattern that reinforces the current uptrend. Last week's gains resulted in a break of 1.1495, Oct 5 high. The move confirms an extension of the reversal from 1.0350, Sep 26 low and highlights a positive price sequence of higher highs and higher lows on the daily chart. The focus is on 1.1738 next, the Sep 13 high. Initial support is seen at 1.1445, the 50-day EMA.
