GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Slow lift from 1.2500 sees bears positioned for further downside

  • GBP/USD remains trapped just above 1.2570, and a cautious recovery from Monday’s bottom at the 1.2500 handle sees the Cable mixing with the 200-period moving average, implying the pair has lost momentum for the time being.

GBP/USD, 5-Minute

  • This week’s decline sees the Cable knocking down into a new support/resistance zone, and the 1.2700 key barrier that provided support in the near-term will now be a ceiling for any bullish pushes.

GBP/USD, 30-Minute

  • The Cable has accelerated losses that were clearly telegraphed on the 4-hour candlesticks, and now the concern will be a bullish correction caused by profit-taking that could set up a re-test of key resistance at 1.2700 for a reload on short positions.
