USD is being offered across the board, courtesy of which the GBP/USD pair has cut through resistance at hourly 200-MA seen at 1.4261 levels.
50-DMA is a support now
The pair rose to a high of 1.4280 and now trades around 1.4275 levels, which means the 50-DMA level of 1.4268 levels is now a support. Dollar selling gathered pace after the US data release, which showed slowdown in spending and rise in the savings rate to one-year high.
It remains to be seen if the gains could be maintained since the volumes are low on account of Easter Monday holiday in Europe.

The immediate hurdle is noted at 1.4286 (50% of 1.4515-1.4057), above which the spot may take out 1.43 and test 1.4330 (23.6% of 1.5930-1.3835). On the other hand, a break below 1.4268 (50-DMA) would expose hourly 200-MA at 1.4261 under which the spot may drop to 1.42 handle.
