On Wednesday morning, GBP/USD plunged and subsequently surged in response to fundamentals. It was pushed through the 55-hour SMA and the monthly PP circa 1.2880. The 100-hour SMA managed to halt the pair for some hours; however, this level was likewise conquered in the evening. The Sterling surged once again on Thursday morning, pushing through the 200-hour SMA and the weekly PP and thus breaching the channel. Technical indicators remain bullish; however, oscillators signal that the pair may soon be overbought, thus pressuring traders to sell the Pound. Thus, it is expected that the rate fails to sustain the current upward momentum and returns in the 1.2900/20 area by Friday morning.
