GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Pound scrambling for a foothold from 1.2950

  • The Sterling is catching a quick bounce off of the US Dollar taking a step back, but Brexit concerns and Friday’s looming UK GDP will keep the upside capped off.
  • Sterling sees a new low for 2018 this week, and further declines will have the pair in freefall below the 1.2900 handle.
  • Daily candles are trapped in a vicious bear trend, and hopes of a bounceback are becoming haphazard.
