$GBPUSD Evening Commentary

GBPUSD closed higher on Thursday as it extends the rally off November's low. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Friday's night session begins trading. 

Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If March extends the rally off November's low, weekly resistance crossing at 1.6353 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 1.6103 are needed to confirm that a short-term top has been posted. 

First resistance is Wednesday's high crossing at 1.6267. 
Second resistance is weekly resistance crossing at 1.6353. 

First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 1.6161. 
Second support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 1.6103.
