Pair's Outlook
GBP/USD pair maintains a bullish impetus and steps higher along with the upper Bollinger line. As the price easily passes all resistance levels, the currency pair demonstrates a strong bullish momentum, but in a such situation, a correction is highly probable and the price may slip as easily as it increased. The next resistance level lies at 1.6244, the weekly R1. In case the price reverses, its depreciation should be stopped by the monthly R1 at 1.6181 and the weekly PP at 1.6129.
