GBPUSD is trading closer to its recent highs and the outlook remains bullish. Support at 1.3487 has remained in place and moving average studies continue to point north. The focus is on a test of 1.3662 next, Jan 20 high where a break would expose 1.3749, the Jan 13 high and key near-term resistance. On the downside, a move below 1.3487 would instead threaten the current bull theme and open 1.3358, Jan 27 low.
