GBP/USD M15 chart
The price is riding up the trendline support with this week's high near 1.1180 as a meanwhile target on a break of 1.1150. The support structure, however, on a break of 1.1080 guards a move to 1.1050 and then a test of 1.1000 ahead of space to Wednesday's low down near 1.0925.
GBP/USD daily
The daily chart, on the other hand, has the price firmly supported at a key retracement area in a 50% mean reversion of the prior bullish impulse. The trendline resistance could come under pressure in due course and this puts the focus on a significant upside recovery on the table with 1.1650 eyed above 1.1500 (last week's high)
