The British pound is firming above the 1.2940 level against the US dollar as the greenback comes under a fresh round of selling pressure. A sustained break above the 1.2960 resistance level exposes a potential technical test of the psychological 1.3000 level. Once above the 1.3000 level, the GBPUSD pair could quickly trade higher, with the 1.3200 resistance level the medium-term objective.
• The GBPUSD pair is bullish while trading above the 1.2900 level, key resistance is found at the 1.2960 and 1.3000 levels. • If the GBPUSD pair trades below the 1.2900 level, key support is found at the 1.2880 and 1.2850 levels.
