Breakout and Pullback on the GBP/USD, 1 hour chart

The Pound has been gaining a lot of ground versus the Dollar for today and it managed to break above the 1.6800 level. On the one hour chart we can see how the price broke that level and it is currently trying to pull back to the same level. This is a very good example of how the Breakout and Pullback pattern should look. First we see confirmation of the breakout and then a nice retracement with the shape of a “dome”. This type of retracement has a higher probability of working and if we see a visit to the 1.6800, the price may try to bounce to the upside from there and continue going higher. The next resistance would be the 200 period exponential moving average around the 1.6835 level.
