GBP/USD to enjoy considerable gains on a break above key 1.3640 resistance

“Profit-taking could limit GBP/USD's upside in the second half of the day but the pair's near-term outlook remains bullish barring a technical correction.”

“In case GBP/USD rises above 1.3640 and starts using it as resistance, 1.3660 (static level, January 20 high) aligns as the next hurdle ahead of 1.3700 (psychological level).”

“On the downside, 1.3600 (static level, psychological level) could be tested with a technical correction. If that support fails, additional losses toward 1.3560 (200-period SMA) and 1.3530 (100-period SMA) could be witnessed.”
