- GBP/USD refreshes intraday top around 1.3535 while extending Wednesday’s recovery moves.
- Sustained trading above 100-bar SMA, bullish MACD favor the bulls, upbeat Brexit developments add to the optimism.
- Weekly support line adds to the downside filter.
GBP/USD takes the bids near 1.3535, up 0.17% intraday, during Thursday’s Asian session. The Cable recently gained following the chatters that the Brexit deal announcements can come as soon as Thursday morning.

Other than the fundamental optimism, the pair’s successful trading above 100-bar SMA and bullish MACD also helps the Sterling buyers to probe a falling trend line from December 17, at 1.3565 now.
Should the GBP/USD buyers manage to cross the 1.3565 hurdle, the 1.3600 can offer an intermediate halt before challenging the monthly high near 1.3625.
Alternatively, a pullback from the current levels can revisit the 1.3500 round-figure and the recent lows near 1.3465. Though, an ascending trend line from Monday and 100-bar SMA, respectively around 1.3420 and 1.3400, will challenge the GBP/USD sellers afterward.
In a case where the quote drops below 1.3400, the weekly bottom around 1.3188 will lure the GBP/USD bears.
