GBPUSD rallied again Wednesday, putting the pair at a new multi-week high and north of the bull trigger at 1.1578. This looks like a clean break and is a significant technical development. The 2.0% 10-dma envelope has been topped intraday, improving the outlook further. The current cycle highlights scope for a stronger reversal, opening 1.1665 initially ahead of 1.1738. On the downside, key near-term support is unchanged at 1.0924, the Oct 12 low. A break of this level would instead reinstate a bearish theme.
