GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable back to 1.3000 figure - Retest of 1.2957 key level can be on the cards

  • GBP/USD is trading back above 1.2957 key level as bulls are currently trying to break above 1.3000 figure. 
  • GBP/USD is trading below its 50, 100-period simple moving averages (SMA) while it is testing the 200 SMA, suggesting an overall bearish bias. GBP/USD is testing yesterday’s high at 1.3022. 
  • Failure to break above 1.3022 should leave the room open for a swing back down to 1.2957.
