GBP/USD Approaches Breakout Zone in Today’s Daily Market Technical Analysis:

GBP/USD is currently testing the upper boundary of a horizontal range that has held since late May, between approximately 1.3420 and 1.3620. The price recently surged from the lower bound, sharply rejecting support and reclaiming all mid-range levels with strong momentum.

Brent price sharply rejected resistance at 76.82 after a strong rally and is now testing previous consolidation levels around 68–70. Volume spiked near resistance, hinting at strong seller interest.

• Key Levels: Resistance at 76.82, support around 66.5–67
• Technical Outlook: Failure to hold above the midpoint zone (70.74) may lead to deeper retracements. Otherwise, a bounce could suggest range continuation.
