Cable threatens bull breakout

The GBP’s bull trend looks poised to extend.

Trend oscillators are aligned bullishly for the GBP and price action is closing on a bull flag breakout trigger (1.2755) which has developed around the past week’s consolidation.

Spot gains through the mid-1.27s would imply potential for the Pound to retest 1.30+ levels in the next few weeks.

Intraday support is 1.2690.
