GBP/USD: Bullish After Breaking Above Daily Cloud

 | Apr 27, 2015 02:52AM ET

GBP/USD broke above the daily Ichimoku cloud on Friday. Upside momentum appears to be strong, as the RSI is above 50 and is rising.

For now prices have found resistance at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at 1.5182, of the downleg from the July 2014 high of 1.7190 to 1.4564. A sustained break above this would target the next Fibonacci level and the February 26 high of 1.5551. A break above this would be needed to strengthen bullish sentiment. Immediate support levels lie at 1.5090 and 1.5008
