GBP/USD moves to a high of 1.2857 on the day

GBP/USD moves to a high of 1.2857 on the day


No particular headlines as it appears to be just broad dollar selling. I'm guessing thin markets have something to do with it too - exacerbating the moves (quick spikes). EUR/USD is moving back towards the highs for the day while USD/CHF has moved to session lows on the day of 0.9833 as well. Even USD/CAD is dragged to session lows on the day just under 1.3070:


For cable, it looks like buyers are now threatening a move to get back above the 100-hour MA (red line) and they manage to hold a break above then near-term sentiment turns bullish again. Meanwhile, for USD/CAD, if sellers sustain a break below the 200-hour MA (blue line) then the near-term bullish bias will be broken.

Further support and resistance levels are highlighted in earlier posts: GBP/USD and USD/CAD.
