MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
GBPUSD found a strong support at 1.5788 (S1) level and now the pair seems to be heading towards level 1.5869 (R1) for a retest. A break above that level would suggest a target of 1.5929 (R2) record high since October 2011 and a further rise will then focus on the next target at 1.5964 (R3) a technical and psychological level. Look for long positions as both of our Moving Averages turned bullish.
