GBPUSD is in consolidation mode. Pullbacks are considered corrective and the 4-month uptrend remains intact. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position reflecting positive market sentiment and the pair has recently pierced resistance at 1.2446, the Dec 14 high. A clear break of this hurdle would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and open 1.2506, a Fibonacci projection. Initial firm support to watch is 1.2278, the 20-day EMA.
