In accordance with expectations, the currency exchange rate was consolidating before a release of the Fed meeting minutes. But as soon as this document was released, the pair expectedly sneaked through the 200-hour SMA and started to surge. 

The fact that road to the south is obstructed not only by a combination of the 55- and 200-hour SMAs but also by the 100-hour SMA and the weekly PP suggests that the Greenback is unlikely to restore lost positions against the Pound even in case of better than expected US PPI data release. 

Accordingly, traders with bullish outlook most probably are going to try to push the pair to the area between the 1.3300 mark and the monthly PP at the 1.3320 by the end of the week.
