The GBP/USD pair has surged past the 1.2510 resistance level, confirming a bullish breakout. The sustained momentum suggests buyers are in control, but upcoming resistance levels will be crucial in determining the next move.

Technical Analysis

📈 Weighted Moving Averages Support Bullish Trend

The 50 Weighted Moving Average (WMA) at 1.25 remains above the 200 WMA, reinforcing the uptrend. As long as GBP/USD holds above this zone, the bullish momentum remains intact.

Key Levels to Watch
