  • SUP 3: 1.2446 Low May 9 and a key near-term support
  • SUP 4: 1.2423 Low Apr 24

GBPUSD traded firmer into the Friday close. This week’s gains have resulted in a break of resistance at 1.2634, the May 3 high. The breach confirms a resumption of the current bull cycle and opens 1.2709 next, the Apr 9 high, ahead of 1.2754, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, initial firm support lies at 1.2572, the 50-day EMA. Key support lies at 1.2446, the May 9 low. A break of this level is required to reinstate a bearish threat.
