GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Retests 1.2600 handle and rebounds, focus remains on the Fed

   “¢   The pair extended its intraday retracement slide and dropped back to retest an ascending trend-line resistance break-point, now turned support near the 1.2600 handle.

   “¢   A break below 100-hour and 200-hour SMA confluence region was seen as a key trigger behind the pair’s latest leg of a sharp decline during the early North-American session.

   “¢   Technical indicators on hourly charts have just started drifting into the negative territory and maintained their bearish bias on the daily charts, presenting a weaker outlook.  

   “¢   A follow-through weakness back below the 1.2600 handle might trigger some aggressive technical selling and turn the pair vulnerable to resume with its prior bearish trend.
