- SUP 3: 1.3180/25 Low Dec 2 / Low Nov 26
- SUP 4: 1.3038/10 Low Nov 20 / Low Nov 4 & 5 and the bear trigger
The latest pause in GBPUSD appears to be a flag formation - a bullish continuation signal. This reinforces the current uptrend. The breach of the 50-day EMA undermined a recent bearish theme and highlights a stronger reversal. Scope is seen for a climb towards 1.3452, a Fibonacci retracement point. Initial firm support is seen at 1.3241, the 20-day EMA. A move below this average would be a bearish development.
