GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Flirting with a descending trend-channel support, 6-week lows ahead of May’s speech

FX Street

   “¢   The pair kept losing ground through the mid-European session and is currently placed near the lower end of a short-term descending trend-channel, held over the past one-week or so.  

   “¢   The fact that the pair remains well below important intraday moving averages – 50, 100 & 200-hour SMA, points to an extension of the ongoing bearish trajectory.

   “¢   However, oversold technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart warrant some cautiousness ahead of the UK PM Theresa May’s address in parliament later today.

   “¢   Meanwhile, a sustained weakness below the trend-channel support will confirm a near-term bearish breakdown and open room for a further near-term depreciating move.
