Daily analysis of GBP/USD for May 19, 2017

The UK's upbeat figures released on Thursday provided support to GBP/USD, but in the American session it managed to erase the gains and turned negative, following a "flash crash" lived in a matter of seconds. Now, the pair is finding support at the 200 SMA (H1 chart), looking to resume the overall bullish bias. However, if it does a breakout below 1.2911, then it can extend the decline towards 1.2855.
