GBP/USD rallied above the 1.3000 psychological zone, following the UK inflation figures that came more positive than expected. Currently, the pair is hovering above the 200 SMA on the H1 chart, and it's looking to test the resistance level of 1.3085, where a breakout should happen in order to test the 1.3170 level.

H1 chart's resistance levels: 1.3085 / 1.3170

H1 chart's support levels: 1.3000 / 1.2894

Trading recommendations for today: based on the H1 chart, place sell (short) orders only if the GBP/USD pair breaks a bearish candlestick; the support level is at 1.3000, take profit is at 1.2894 and stop loss is at 1.3108.
