GBPUSD (1.2904): The British pound managed to post a modest rebound yesterday. Slightly better than expected labor market data helped to improve the sentiment in the cable which weakened earlier in the week on account of inflation data. The rebound off 1.2835 is likely to see some upside in prices. Near-term resistance is seen at 1.2980 – 1.3000 which could be tested. If resistance is formed here, then GBPUSD could be forming the final right shoulder in the head and shoulders pattern that is evolving on the daily charts. This would suggest further downside in prices on a break below 1.2835.
