GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable set to continue its descent to 1.2800 swing low

  • GBP/USD bears are keeping the main trend intact as Cable is trading below the 200-period simple moving average on the 4-hour chart.  
  • GBP/USD broke below the bull trendline along with the 50-period simple moving average (4-hour chart). The RSI, Stochastics and MACD indicators are all bearishly configured suggesting a strong bearish momentum.
  • The next major target to the downside is located near 1.2800 swing low. A bull breakout above 1.3050 would invalidate the bearish bias.
