And yet, there is one alarming moment for holding long positions and the upward dynamics of the GBP/USD. The pair failed to develop an upward trend, retreating from the local high of 1.3745 reached last week.
On the 1-hour chart of GBP/USD, the price broke the important short-term support at 1.3628 (200-period moving average). This is the first signal to open short positions on GBP/USD. A break of the key support level 1.3590 (the 200-period moving average on the daily chart) will be a confirmation signal. A break of the support level 1.3390 (200-period moving average on the weekly chart) will bring GBP/USD back into the bear market.
An alternative scenario will be associated with the resumption of the upward dynamics of the GBP/USD. Breakdown of the local resistance level 1.3660 will be the first signal for the implementation of this scenario with an intermediate target at the local resistance level near 1.3745.
