GBPUSD is firmer today and the rally that started late September remains intact. The pair is trading above the 50-day EMA and this suggests scope for an extension to 1.3795 next, a Fibonacci retracement. A breach of this level would open 1.3913, the Sep 14 high. On the downside, a firm short-term support has been defined at 1.3544, Oct 6 low. A break would reinstate a bearish focus and open 1.3412, Sep 29 low and the bear trigger.
