GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Sterling on the downside as bears resume control

  • Sterling continuing to head lower ahead of Wednesday’s London market session, as Brexit concerns continue to weigh.
  • UK inflation figures are due early at 08:30 GMT, but the bears are already in control. A positive reading could put a floor under current losses.
  • Daily candles have the pair in a confirmed downside move from a lower high, and the year’s low is close to breaking.
