Medium-term downtrend has broken longer-term uptrend, which is marked on the chart as a trendline that supported the pair in 2009, 2010 and 2013. After trading down to below 1.50 in January, the pair reversed all sub 1.55 losses in February and even broke above the big level.

Another great analysis! Also included some macroeconomic situation! Great stuff and only a bit over 100 pips to go!

As the GDP came on target I think that the cable may continue it's run upwards this week.

Thanks! Let's hope for an early Monday rally. :)

UPDATE 9: Among seven major currency pairs, Cable was the winner of the week. Solid preliminary GDP report was a big part in Sterling's gains, in line with the backdrop of hawkish BOE. Yet the Dollar was strong too and, thanks to the positive signal in the FOMC statement and solid Advance GDP report, the pair remained range-bound for the third consecutive week.

UPDATE 10: Next week is the first one of the month and, as usual, it comes with plenty of economic data points. NFP will again be in the spotlight but for the British currency the first BOE meeting in the new format will be even more important. Range top is found near 1.5675. Initial support is seen near 1.5550 but the stronger one lays at the range bottom around 1.5475.

UPDATE 4: 50 and 100 DMA held the declines on two occasions in the past week and will remain the most important levels to watch in the week ahead. The pair will need to break below both averages to confirm bearish bias. If not, trading back above 1.5350 will establish bullish tone and 200 DMA, which currently sits just above 1.55, will come back into focus. If that goes, the pair is free to retest 1.58 and possibly trade up to 1.60.

UPDATE 5: Cable was the best performer on the week among major pairs. It gained nearly 300 pips from the open while the weekly range was about 380 pips. Most of the gains were acquired in US sessions while the pair was mostly sold in Europe. Exception was Wednesday when that pair rocketed higher despite mixed industrial production report. A lot of the strength came from EUR/GBP selling on combination of overbought technicals and safe haven flows due to the uncertainty regarding Greece.

UPDATE 6: There are four important UK economic events coming up in the week ahead: inflation report, jobs report, MPC meeting minutes and retail sales. On the other side of the pond we have even more important FOMC meeting and US inflation report. After strong performance in the past week, some consolidation and/or correction in the beginning of the week is the most likely scenario.

UPDATE 7: After fake move up in the Asian and early European session on Monday, the pair sold off strongly and started a correction which has been so far worth close to 250 pips. The pair tried to rally on Wednesday, but it turned out that the move back up to 1.58 was just a short squeeze. The rest of the week was range-bound. Weekly candle doesn't look that bearish as it retraced less than half of previous week's gains.

UPDATE 8: The week ahead will be important one for the pair, not just because Greek story implications for the UK but it's also that week in the month when we get PMI figures for UK's three major sectors: Services, Manufacturing and Construction. On top of that, Current Account and Final GDP will be released. Initial support is seen between 1.5650 and 1.5675 with stronger closer to 1.55 level. First resistance may come in around 1.58.
