GBPUSD traded higher Monday and in the process cleared resistance at 1.2204, the Mar 14 high. This has strengthened the case for bulls and note that resistance at 1.2269 has been pierced, the Feb 14 high. Sights are on 1.2296 next, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, key short-term support lies at 1.2011, the Mar 15 low. A move below this level would reinstate the recent bearish theme.
