GBPUSD initially traded higher Friday and cleared 1.0931, the Sep 26 high. The recovery reinforces the short-term importance of Monday’s hammer reversal candle and suggests scope for stronger corrective bounce. This is allowing a recent oversold trend reading to unwind. The next resistance is 1.1271, the 20-day EMA. A break would strengthen the current short-term bull cycle. This week’s 1.0350 low remains the bear trigger and key support.
