GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Move beyond 200-hour SMA sets the stage for a test of 1.2700 handle
• After yesterday's late retracement, the pair regained positive traction on Tuesday and has now broken through over one-week-old descending trend-line resistance.
• Bullish technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart coupled with a sustained move beyond 200-hour SMA sets the stage for additional intraday positive momentum.
• Only a decisive weakness back below the descending trend-line resistance break-point, currently near the 1.2630-20 region, might negate the constructive outlook.
