GBPUSD held the bulk of the week’s gains into the Thursday close, with prices this week taking out the first level of resistance at the 1.2192 50-day EMA. This reinforces a bullish theme and puts prices close to the August highs. Further strength through 1.2293, Aug 1 high, would suggest scope for an extension higher and open 1.2332, the Jun 27 high. Potential is also seen for a climb towards 1.2406, the Jun 16 high and the next key key resistance. Initial support to watch is 1.2004, Aug 5 low.
