GBP/USD Technical Analysis

The GBP/USD is still holding up against very strong resistance at the 1.3400 level, and is trying to break through. For several weeks, the pair has been trading in a wide range without specifying a clear upward or downward trend, so breaking any of the support or resistance levels will leave behind a strong and violent price movement. Be wary of the GBP/USD's movement after breaking the 1.3400 resistance level.

In addition, the pair breached the lower ascending triangle boundary, which means it has breached the uptrend and successfully retested the broken trend.

The 1.3400 point represents a great importance at the moment so these points should be closely watched today.

The best intraday long targets are 1.3260, 1.3184.

The best intraday short levels are 1.3441, 1.3500, 1.3530.
