GBP/USD Analysis

This pair was looking bullish as the week began, and continued to creep upwards yesterday. Note in the chart below that the upwards move is slow and delicate and looks prone to break down rapidly. Despite that, it is still a bullish picture, although we have no obvious support levels before 1.2595. There may be some support at 1.2700.
GBPUSD

There is nothing due today regarding either the GBP or the USD.
