Technical Analysis of GBP/USD 

The British pound was still strongly bid against the US dollar over the 1.1120 mark. Above the resistance levels of 1.1250 and 1.1350, the GBP/USD pair began a new uptrend.

On the 4-hour chart, the pair picked its speed after it made a settlement above the 1.1350 mark. Even the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours) and the 200 simple moving average were broken through as it closed above the level of 1.1400. (green, 4-hours).

The bulls drove the pair above the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the decline from the swing high of 1.1645 to the low of 1.1145. It currently encounters resistance close to the 1.1520 level.

Near 1.1640 may serve as the next significant resistance. Any additional gains would accelerate a move in the direction of the 1.1720 mark, over which it might even touch 1.1800.

 Close to the 1.1400 level and the 100 simple moving average is an initial support (red, 4-hours). The area around 1.1350 is the next significant support. The 200 simple moving average or the 1.1250 zone serves as the primary support (green, 4-hours).
