GBPUSD maintains a bullish tone and the pair traded higher Wednesday. The break last week of 1.2634, the May 3 high, confirmed a resumption of the current bull cycle and opened 1.2754, 76.4% of the Mar 8 - Apr 22 bear leg. It has been pierced, a clear break would expose 1.2803, the Mar 21 high. Initial firm support lies at 1.2587, the 50-day EMA. Key support is at 1.2446, the May 9 low. A break of this level is required to reinstate a bearish threat.
