  • GBP/USD bulls are taking on critical daily resistance. 
  • Bears will be looking for a downside correction, as per the weekly W-formation. 

GBP/USD has ended the US sessions firmly bid and has taken out the prior closing highs for the week which leaves the bulls in good stead for the remaining sessions ahead of the holidays. At the time of writing, GBP/USD is higher by some 0.77% after travelling from a low of 1.3239 to a high of 1.3363.
