GBPUSD: The GBPUSD held a swing area near 1.2386 – 1.23974, and is moving back toward its key 200 day moving average at 1.24326. Get above that key daily moving average - and stay above - would disappoint the sellers on the break below that moving average level. The last time the price traded below the 200 day moving average before this week was back in March.
