GBPUSD has pulled back from yesterday’s high. Gains earlier this week resulted in a breach of the 20-day EMA and delivered a print above 1.2503, the 50-day EMA, and 1.2523, the Jan 27 high. A continuation higher would signal scope for a move towards 1.2610, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, key short-term support to watch has been defined at 1.2249, the Jan 3 low. Clearance of this level would instead highlight a reversal.
