Technical Market Outlook

The GBP/USD pair has broken above the Novembers high located at the level of 1.3516 and made a new swing high at the level of 1.3549. The immediate technical supports, seen at the level of 1.3471 and 1.3428, were broken and the market pulled-back towards the level of 1.3428, which means the short-term trend line support had been violated as well. The strong and positive momentum support the short-term bullish outlook for GBP, however, the market conditions are now extremely overbought on the H4 time frame chart, so a pull-back towards the level of 1.3410 is welcome.
