The GBP/USD currency pair has formed a breakout pattern just above the PP point support, and we could see a further upside potential towards the R2 pivot point. The main news release for the GBP is GDP (Gross Domestic Product) on Wednesday. For those unfamiliar with it, GDP measures a change in the total GVA of all goods and services produced by the economy. It’s the broadest measure of economic activity and the primary gauge of the economy’s health.

Technically, the GBP/USD currency pair formed a retracement trend line and the break above it might initiate a bullish continuation. However, if the price retraces to the POC zone between 1.3060-80, bulls might be ready for another push to the upside. The GDP news might also cause higher volatility, so be prepared. Targets are 1.3184 and 1.3253. However if the GDP result is worse than expected, we might see 1.3000 retest again. Always pay attention to price action before you start making new entries. Consolidation usually precedes breakouts.
