  • SUP 3: 1.2500 Low Dec 13
  • SUP 4: 1.2432 50.0% retracement of the Oct 4 - Dec 28 bull phase

GBP/USD's range break Thursday is notable, and a close above 1.2786 would be significant and erase the downleg posted off the Jan12 high. This brings the bull trigger at 1.2827 into view, and multi-month highs. For bears, a reversal lower and a breach of 1.2600, the Mar 1 low, is required to once again highlight a bearish threat. This would open the bear trigger at 1.2519, the Feb 5 low.
