GBP/USD Technical Analysis: A move towards reclaiming 1.30 mark remains a distinct possibility

   •  The pair extended its sideways consolidative price action on Tuesday, albeit now seems to have formed a firm base near 50-period SMA on the 4-hourly chart.

   •  Given Friday's bullish breakthrough a 2-1/2 week old descending trend-channel, dip buying near the resistance break-point reinforces the constructive set-up.

   •  Moreover, bullish technical indicators on the mentioned chart also support prospects for further up-move towards reclaiming the key 1.30 psychological mark.

   •  However, a sustained weakness back below 50-period SMA, around the 1.2900-1.2890 region, might invalidate the expected move and turn the pair vulnerable.
