As of this writing, the GBP / USD pair is traded near 1.3735, 23 pips below the local 2.5-year high of 1.3758 hit at the start of today's European session.
GBP / USD is traded in upward channels on the daily and weekly charts, generally maintaining a long-term positive trend.
Staying in the zone above the key support levels 1.3100 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), 1.3180 (ЕМА200 on the weekly chart), the pair is in the bull market zone.
Moreover, in the area of current levels and above the support level 1.3672 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart), opening of new long positions looks attractive.
If this support level is broken, the next good zone for placing pending buy orders will be the support level 1.3556 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart).
Only a breakdown of the support level 1.3490 (ЕМА50 and the lower line of the ascending channel on the daily chart) can provoke a deeper decline in GBP / USD, up to support levels 1.3210 (Fibonacci 23.6% retracement to the decline of the GBP / USD pair in the wave that began in July 2014 near the level 1.7200), 1.3180 (ЕМА200 on the weekly chart).
After the breakdown of the support level 1.3100, one should expect a decline towards the support level 1.2865. A breakdown of the local support level 1.2685 (September lows) will increase the risks of a resumption of the global bearish trend in GBP / USD and may provoke a deeper decline towards support levels 1.2250, 1.2085, 1.2000 (Fibonacci level 0%).
