The British Pound climbed toward 1.3600 before correcting some gains against the US Dollar. GBP/USD dipped to 1.3500 and might soon resume upside.

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the pair settled above the 1.3500 level, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour), and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour). A low was formed at 1.3472, and the pair is now attempting another increase.

On the upside, the pair faces resistance at 1.3550 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downside correction from the 1.3599 swing high to the 1.3472 low.

The first major resistance sits at 1.3565. The main resistance could be 1.3600. A close above 1.3600 could open doors for gains above 1.3620. In the stated case, the bulls could aim for a move to 1.3740.

Immediate support is seen near 1.3500. There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support at 1.3505. The next support could be 1.3475. A close below 1.3475 might push the pair toward 1.3420. The main support sits at 1.3380, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour), and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour). Any more losses could initiate a fresh move to 1.3250 in the coming days.
