GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Four-Month High Set

GBP/USD Technical Analysis – Prices advanced as expected after putting in a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern. A break above resistance at 1.5600, the 76.4% Fibonacci expansion, has exposed the underside of a rising channel set from mid-March, now at 1.5674. A push higher beyond that aims for the 100% level at 1.5783. The 1.5600 figure has been recast as near-term support, with a move back beneath that targeting the 61.8% Fib at 1.5487.
