GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Bears did it again, GBP/USD prints a new 2018 low

  • GBP/USD reached a new 2018 low (at 1.2841), yet again. However, bulls were quick to step in and drive the market near the 1.2900 figure. GBP/USD found resistance at the 200-period simple moving average (SMA) and GBP/USD is resuming the bear trend.
  • The next targets to the downside are likely located near the current 2018 low. A bear breakout below the level would likely lead to an acceleration near 1.2774 August 24, 2017 low.  
  • On the flip side, as the market is quite oversold bulls will try to prevent any sell-off to go very far as their objective is to breakout above 1.2900-1.2923 area in order to reach 1.2957 July 17 low.
