Since December 22, the GBP/USD currency pair has been trading between the support zone above 1.2000 and resistance above 1.2100. Namely, support is found in 1.2000/1.2025 and resistance at 1.2100/1.2125. Meanwhile, the pair has largely ignored the 50, 100 and 200-hour simple moving averages and the weekly simple pivot point.

However, a potential surge above 1.2100/1.2125 might encounter resistance in the 1.2150 level and the weekly R1 simple pivot point at 1.2186.
