bond market rally has provided a much needed lifeline for the European currencies.  It is clear that Wall Street is convinced that the US long-end yields are too elevated and that put an end to the king dollar trade.  Price action on GBP/USD shows the bullish rebound faces key resistance from both the 200-day SMA and the downward sloping trendline that started in mid-July.  If bullish momentum remains in place major resistance lies at the 1.2590 region, which is the 50% retracement of the recent surge in the greenback.  To the downside, 1.2165 provides initial support and the 1.2000 remains a key price barrier.</p>
