- GBP/USD spikes to 1.31 on report claiming UK is ready to drop key Brexit demand on Irish border.
- GBP/USD has retraced about 40 pips from 1.3100 but the momentum remains rather bullish as long as the pair remains above the 1.3000 figure. There is some bullish activity on the RSI, MACD and Stochastic indicators but more work is needed for bulls to retake full control of the market. The bulls would also need to ovecome the 200-period simple moving average.
