GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Intraday upsurge stalls near a support turned resistance
• The pair's goodish intraday upsurge stalled at a previous horizontal support, now turned resistance, around the 1.2800 handle, coinciding with 38.2% Fibo. level of the 1.2927-1.2725 downfall.
• This is followed by important intraday moving averages (100 & 200-hour SMA) confluence hurdle and should continue to collaborate towards keeping a lid on any follow-through positive momentum.
• Meanwhile, technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have already recovered from the bearish territory but are yet to catch up with the positive momentum on 4-hourly and daily charts.
• Hence, it would be prudent to wait for a convincing break through the mentioned hurdles before confirming that the pair might have already formed a firm base near the 1.2725 region (monthly lows).
