GBPUSD reaches 200 bar MA on 4-hour chart and swing area and backs off

The GBPUSD has completed its down and up “lap” that saw the pair move from an Asian session high at 1.27305, to a low in the European session at 1.2667 (and briefly below the 200 bar MA on the 4-hour chart at 1.2673), and then back up to a US session high at 1.2732. The current price is trading at 1.27207.

That the new session high, the price did extend above the 100-bar moving average on a 4.-hour chart currently at 1.27286. So like at session lows, the price will move the 4-hour moving average by a few pips only to fail.

So sellers had their shot. The buyers had their shot.
