GBPUSD continues to trade inside its range with key resistance defined at 1.2827, the Dec 28 high, and key support at 1.2597, the Jan 17 low. Both levels represent important directional triggers. A clear break of 1.2827 would resume the uptrend and open 1.2881, a Fibonacci retracement. For bears, clearance of 1.2597 would highlight a short-term reversal and signal scope for weakness towards the 1.2500 handle, the Dec 13 low.
