The British pound recorded a volatile session against the US dollar on Thursday. The currency pair opened at 1.2750 and added only 4 pips.

Pound / dollar had another unsettling movement yesterday. Trade signals remain neutral in the near future. The upcoming pin bar, which appeared on June 9, remains valid, but a clear break above 1.2780 is needed to confirm the bullish scenario with targets to 1.2900 - 1.3000 / 50. Immediate support is seen at 1.2725, whose breakthrough can lead to future downward pressure. But only a clear break below 1.2634 will cancel the upside-down scenario on the pin bar, with the first downside target in the 1.2500 area.
Key levels to watch for:
Support: 1.2700; 1.2516; 1.2360;
Resistance: 1.3090; 1.3270.

Only 2 out of the 9 charts I look at show prices above the 200EMA with GBP as the base currency. Not that many, but last weekend this total was zero. In addition, GBP price has risen against 2 of the 3 strongest currencies according to this measure in the last week, NZD and CHF, while virtually flat against EUR. This is strong performance. GBP bears beware.
