"The bigger picture hasn't changed. It's still looking very positive for the UK economy and therefore bullish for the British pound and I would expect next week's GDP data to add to that story."
- Nawaz Ali, Western Union (based on Reuters)


Pair's Outlook

Even though volatility of GBP/USD increased this week, none of the significant levels have been breached yet. According to the technical indicators, the Pound should eventually gain bullish momentum and rally to the upper boundary of the upward-sloping channel at 1.74. The near-term positive outlook is secured by the support at 1.7042, but in the longer-term perspective 1.69 is likely to play a more important role.
