A weak US dollar renewed the demand for the pound and pulled it to the highs of this month. The goal of the bulls is a major resistance of 1.2762, a breakthrough of which will provide good support to buyers, which will lead to a renewal of highs around 1.2800 and 1.2860, where I recommend taking profits. With a downward correction scenario, and this is more likely in the first half of the day, long positions in the pound can be viewed at a false breakdown from support 1.2723 or at a rebound from a low of 1.2687, where the lower limit of the ascending channel passes.
