• SUP 3: 1.2584 61.8% retracement of the Apr 22 - Jul 17 bull cycle

GBPUSD traded higher Tuesday and this has resulted in a print above resistance around the 20-day EMA, at 1.2798. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a stronger short-term retracement and open 1.2863 initially, the Aug 1 high. Current gains are considered corrective, a resumption of weakness would refocus attention on the recent Aug low of 1.2665. A break of this level would resume the bear cycle that started Jul 17.
