Some profit taking

The GBPUSD fell to a lower trend line and stalled on the hourly chart. That is givng sellers a cause for pause. The price is correcting higher and looks toward the lowest trend line at 1.2898. The pair closed yesterday right near that area. So it is hurdle number 1 for the buyers looking for a larger correction higher. Other hurdles on the hourly chart is the yellow area. That is the 38.2-50% of the move down. The high price reached 1.29157 today as well. Good resistance target too.

GBPUSD seeing some profit taking

Speaking of 1.29157, that level was just short of the 50% midpoint of the move up from the years low at 1.29163 (referenced the levels importance in a post from yesterday HERE). A move above that level today could solicit more upside.
