On Monday morning, the GBP/USD currency pair managed to reach above the resistance of the 1.2300 level. The surge occurred, as the rate found support in the combination of the 50 and 100-hour simple moving averages and the weekly simple pivot point near 1.2250.

Economic Calendar



On Wednesday, note the Final US Quarterly GDP data. The data release might cause minor reactions on the chart.

Later on the same day, at 13:00 GMT, the heads of the ECB, Bank of England and the Fed are set to speak at a panel titled "Policy Panel."

GBP/USD short-term review

If the pair continues to surge, the rate is set to face resistance in the weekly R1 simple pivot point at 1.2337 and the 1.2350 level. Higher above, note the resistance of the 1.2400 mark.

However, a potential decline of the Pound against the US Dollar would look for support in the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages and the weekly simple pivot point near 1.2250. Further below, note the last week's low level zone at 1.2160/1.2174 and the weekly S1 simple pivot point.
