GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Bears positioning for a slide towards descending channel support, below mid-1.2700s

   “¢   The pair extended the previous session’s sharp rejection slide from 200-hour SMA, or weekly tops, and dropped to fresh one-month lows in the last hour.

   “¢   Given the overnight fake breakout through over two-week-old descending trend-channel, the price action clearly points to persistent selling bias.

   “¢   Technical indicators on hourly charts maintained their bearish bias and have been gaining negative traction on the daily chart, reinforcing the negative outlook.

   “¢   Hence, a sustained weakness below the 1.2800 handle might prompt some fresh technical selling and pave the way for a test of the descending trend-channel support.
