The GBP/USD pair faced resistance at the level of 1.2545, while minor resistance is seen at 1.2545. Support levels found at the levels of 1.2493 and 1.2454. Yesterday, the GBP/USD pair continued to move upwards from the levels of 1.2493 and 1.2454.

The pair rose from the levels of 1.2493 or 1.2454 to the top around 1.2523. In consequence, the GBP/USD pair broke resistance, which turned strong support at the level of 1.2545. Moreover, the RSI starts signaling an upward trend, and the trend is still showing strength above the moving average (100).

Hence, we expect the GBP/USD pair to continue moving in the bullish trend from the support level of 1.2493 towards the target level of 1.2545. If the pair succeeds in passing through the level of 1.2545, the market will indicate the bullish opportunity above the level of 1.2545 in order to reach the second target at 1.0002 to test the double top in the H1 time frame.

However, the price spot of 1.2593 remains a significant resistance zone. Thus, the trend will probably be rebounded again from the double top as long as the level of 1.2454 is not breached.
