GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable at daily highs and trying to break 1.3200 figure ahead of FOMC

  • GBP/USD main bear trend has been on hold since mid-August as bulls were able to bring Cable above the 50-day simple moving average.
  • GBP/USD is currently trying to break above the 1.3200 psychological figure. It is trading above its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages suggesting a bullish bias. The RSI and MACD indicators are bullishly configured. However, bulls will need a convincing break above 1.3200 as a confirmation of the bull leg resumption. Resistance to the upside can be seen near 1.3300 figure and 1.3363 July high.
  • The FOMC at 18:00 GMT can lead to extreme volatility in the forex market.
