GBPUSD traded slightly higher again Thursday, having recovered from brief slippage on Tuesday. The rate continues to trade inside its recent range and importantly above support at 1.3491, Feb 7 low. The outlook is bullish following recent gains from 1.3358, the Jan 27 low and scope is seen for a test of 1.3662 next, Jan 20 high. On the downside, a move below 1.3491, Feb 7 low would threaten the current bull theme and instead expose key support at 1.3358, Jan 27 low.
