“GBP/USD has sold off to the 2016-2018 support line at 1.2795 this week and we would allow for this to hold the initial test. The market has held 1.2775 3 times and this is seen as the last defence for the 1.2662 August low. Currently we would allow for a very small bounce towards 1.2950/70 ahead of further weakness”.
“Below 1.2662 would trigger further weakness to the 61.8% retracement of the move 2016-2018 and June 2017 low at 1.2593/89″.
