GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Sterling headed for a new 2018 low as risk aversion keeps the GBP down

  • Sterling is sinking into new lows for 2018 following Wednesday’s BoE FSR/Mark Carney double-header that came in dovish.
  • Risk aversion  is the flavor of the week as trade concerns keep the Greenback bid.
  • Hourly indicators are reading incredibly oversold, but a bullish bounce has yet to materialize.
