GBP/USD Technical analysis: Pound bulls break to new daily highs, trapped in wedge formation below 1.3450 level

• Pound bulls broke momentarily above the 1.3439 level which is the intraday high made in early European trade.
• GBP/USD is grinding higher above the 100-period simple moving average on the 4-hour time-frame.
• However, GBP/USD is evolving in a wedge formation below the 1.3450 level, which is potentially bearish short-term. Bulls will need a strong breakout above the 1.3450 level or else a correction may be on the cards in the coming hours.
