GBPUSD trades unchanged through the London close have erased weakness posted earlier in the session. This put prices briefly below the 20-day EMA, which remains an important level of support. The outlook remains bullish - support at 1.3487 is intact and moving average studies continue to point north. The focus is on a test of 1.3662 next, Jan 20 high where a break would improve the bullish theme and expose 1.3749, the Jan 13 high and key resistance. On the downside, a move below 1.3487 would instead threaten the current bull theme and open 1.3358, Jan 27 low.
