GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Rotation down sends GBP/USD to daily lows near 1.2800 figure

  • GBP/USD main bear trend is resuming as the market couldn’t break above the key 1.2957 level.
  • GBP/USD is trading below its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages suggesting a bearish bias. The first downside target is just below at 1.2800 and the bullish trendline. A break below the level would open the door to 1.2723, August 10 low.  
  • A bull breakout above 1.2957 would invalidate the bearish bias.
