Key quotes

"Technically, the GBP/USD bounced from a strong support, the 23.6% retracement of its latest daily rally at 1.7060, and advanced up to 1.7150, where the pair halted several times over the last few days."

"The 4 hours chart shows indicators crossing their midlines to the upside, while current candle opened above a still flat 20 SMA, bullish overall but with no upward strength."

"This year high of 1.7180 is the critical resistance level once above 1.7150, and once broken 1.7220/50 area comes at sight."

"Retracements down to 1.7090/1.7100 should see buyers surging to defend the level, with the pair not seen below it over the upcoming sessions."
