GBP/USD slowly heads to weekly R3
In accordance with expectations, in first half of previous trading session the cable made a minor pull back to 1.3440 and then resumed the surge. An existence of two barriers located at the 1.3500 and 1.3530 levels was confirmed, while the pair continued to climb to the top yesterday. As majority of pending orders both in 50 and 100 pip range are set to buy, the currency rate is expected to continue moving upwards today as well. The bullish scenario is also backed up by fundamental reasons, such optimism related to progress made on Brexit.
However, there is a need to take into account that alleged resistance barriers located at the 1.3560, 1.3580 and 1.3590 might either halt or event slightly turnaround the pair, especially if it matches with release of the US ISM Manufacturing PMI.

On the one hand, the cable has reached the forecasted target at the 1.3406 level. On the other hand, the upper boundary of the junior ascending channel that was backed by the weekly S1 could not constrain the further surge. Moreover, the 47 pip jump in the early hours of this trading session allowed the pair to break not only through the monthly R1 but also the upper trend-line of a dominant descending channel.
As the pair two times in a raw failed to bypass the 1.3480 mark, a small retreat is expected to follow. However, if traders decide to readjust the above junior channel up, the correction might drag the pair back to 1.3400. Nevertheless, in larger perspective an optimism related to Brexit is likely to continue driving the Pound towards the 1.3600 level.
