Recent price action in GBPUSD highlights two important short-term directional triggers; resistance at 1.2293, the Aug 1 high and support at 1.2004, the Aug 5 low. The short-term trend outlook is bullish but a break of 1.2293 is required to reinforce this and signal a resumption of the bull cycle. A break would open 1.2406, the Jun 16 high. On the downside, clearance of support at 1.2004 would instead expose 1.1890, the Jul 21 low.
