GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Oops, EU’s Barnier did it again! GBP/USD surging to 1.3050 key level

  • GBP/USD leaped more than 100 pips as the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier said that a Brexit deal is realistic in 6-8 weeks. Last week, GBP/USD surged on similar comments.
  • GBP/USD is currently in bull breakout mode and it is testing the 1.3050 key level. If bulls manage to sustain a breakout above the level, it might put the main bear trend in peril as it would create a higher high on the daily chart. 
  • Nothing indicates that the bullish momentum should abate as the market is trading well above its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages while the RSI, MACD and Stochastics indicators are in full bullish mode. However, a bear breakout below 1.2800 would invalidate the bullish bias.
