GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Range-play between 100/200-hour SMA ahead of NFP
• The pair's goodish intraday bounce from 100-hour SMA support, near the 1.3000 handle, quickly ran out of steam and stalled near 200-hour SMA.
• Technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart maintained a positive tone, though bullish traders seemed reluctant to place any aggressive bets ahead of the NFP report.
• Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing break through the 100/200-hour SMAs range before positioning for any meaningful intraday move.
