GBPUSD traded higher Monday. Price has pierced resistance at 1.2204, the Mar 14 high. A clear breach of this hurdle would strengthen the case for bulls and signal scope for a climb towards 1.2269, the Feb 14 high and 1.2296, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, key short-term support lies at 1.2011, the Mar 15 low. A move below this support would instead reinstate the recent bearish theme.
