If EUR/USD and /or NZD/USD breaks higher then oddball currency GBP/USD must cross above vital 1.2789. Currently GBP/USD as the traditional laggard currency will break higher so uniformity exists to EUR/USD, NZD/USD and AUD/USD.

Possibly why rising lines exist to EUR, NZD and AUD is to allow laggard GBP/USD to trade higher and catch up to its counterparts. Uniformity is vital to markets and prices. But  this situation is not unusual and seen many times before especially as it applies to GBP/USD.

GBP/USD suffers the effects to the 1960's re number to the exchange rate as it now trades above EUR/USD. The 1960's was only 30 years since the trade wars of the 1930's so the French Franc,  GBP/EUR or GBP/DEM then and USD positions had to factor to the correct exchange rate number.

 Best part to the 1930's trade wars was GBP vs French Franc as the French employed every effort to destroy GBP and created bitter enemies over many, many decades. See Gold Wars for a play by play to a fascinating story.

Overall, EUR/USD and NZD hold a do or die position. Much higher or much lower and it must be either/or as principles of Moving averages.
