Technical Market Outlook:

The GBP/USD pair has broken above the key short-term technical resistance located at the level of 1.2988 and a new local high was made at the level of 1.3016. A sustained breakout through this level will lead to another wave up towards the level of 1.3047. The positive momentum supports the short-term bullish outlook. The larger timeframe trend remains up, but the recent breakout from the consolidation zone is a signal, that the uptrend might be reversed soon.

Trading recommendations:

The best strategy for current market conditions is to trade with the larger timeframe trend, which is up, so all downward market moves will be treated as local corrections in the uptrend. In order to reverse the trend from up to down in the longer term, the key level for bulls is seen at 1.2756 and it must be clearly violated. The key long-term technical support is seen at the level of 1.2231 - 1.2224 and the key long-term technical resistance is located at the level of 1.3512.
