On Thursday after hitting the price level of 1.5393, the GBP/USD currency pair initiated an obvious uptrend with established top at 1.5575.

The GBP/USD pair managed to bypass its established top at 1.5575 reaching price levels around 1.5675. Since then, the pair failed to make a new high above 1.5675 but managed to break through the lower limit of its bullish Yellow channel around 1.5620.
