  • RES 1: 1.2823/2894 High Mar 14 / 8 and the bull trigger
  • PRICE: 1.2722 @ 16:44 GMT Mar 18

A bullish condition in GBPUSD remains intact and last week’s move lower appears to be a correction - for now. Initial support at 1.2726, the 20-day EMA, has been pierced, but the 50-day average at 1.2682 sits just below. A clear break of this support zone would threaten the bullish theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. Key resistance is at 1.2894, the Mar 8 high. Clearance of this hurdle would resume the uptrend and open 1.2946, a Fibonacci projection.
