The surge of the GBP/USD has continued due to the prior momentum. On Wednesday, the lower than expected US CPI boosted the move. In the near term future, the pair could approach the 1.2700 mark.

Last week, despite being pierced, the 1.2460/1.2470 range held as support and forced the pair to recover. On Monday, the recovery was stuck between the support of the three hourly simple moving averages and the weekly simple pivot point near 1.2520 and the resistance range at 1.2535/1.2550.
