GBPUSD remains below Wednesday’s high of 1.3298. This week’s break of the 20-day EMA and the 1.0% 10-dma envelope (at 1.3257) was seen as a positive development however, a key resistance at 1.3337, the 50-day EMA, remains intact. Clearance of this average is required to further strengthen short-term bullish conditions. On the downside, watch support at 1.3120, Tuesday’s low. A break would suggest scope for a deeper pullback.
