GBP/USD buyers take a breather at the highest level in one month, making rounds to 1.2550 during early Friday morning in Europe. In doing so, the Cable bulls pause after posting the biggest daily gain since early March the previous day.
While the above 50.0 levels of the RSI (14) line could be held responsible for the Pound Sterling’s latest retreat, the bullish MACD signals and a two-week-long rising trend channel keeps the buyers hopeful.
Hence, the quote’s latest pullback remains elusive unless it stays within the aforementioned channel, currently between 1.2600 and 1.2410.
That said, a short-term correction toward the 50-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA) level of around 1.2420 can’t be ruled out.
In a case where the Cable pair breaks the 1.2410 support, the odds of witnessing a quick fall toward the previous monthly low of around 1.2310-05 can’t be ruled out.
Meanwhile, an upside break of the stated channel’s peak of 1.2600 may have a reason to worry unless the GBP/USD remains below the yearly high marked in May at around 1.2680.
Following that, the 61.8% Fibonacci Expansion (FE) of the Cable pair’s March-May moves, near 1.2850, will be in the spotlight.
Overall, GBP/USD remains on the bull’s radar but a pullback can’t be ruled out.
