GBPUSD has pulled back from the Tuesday high of 1.2204 and this has resulted in a breach of key short-term support at 1.2043, the 20-day EMA. A continuation lower would further undermine the recent bullish theme and instead signal scope for a deeper retracement. For bulls, clearance of 1.2204 is required to reinstate a bullish theme. This would signal open 1.2269, the Feb 14 high.
