GBPUSD retreated Friday, opening a gap with recent highs after Thursday saw resistance at 1.3704, the Jan 4 high and bull trigger probed. A clear breach of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the current uptrend and open 1.3773, the May 1, 2018 high. Key short-term support has been defined at 1.3452, Jan11 low. A break would signal a near-term reversal. 1.3564 marks initial support, the 20-day EMA.
