GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Bears take the lead and drive GBP/USD close to 1.3100 level

  • As GBP/USD couldn’t break above 1.3200 earlier in Europe, the market decided to test 1.3100.  
  • GBP/USD extended the daily losses but has not yet reached the 1.3100-1.3076 area, which is comprised by the figure and the current weekly low.  
  • As GBP/USD dropped about a 100 pips, today’s sell-off is quite discouraging for bulls, however, the market will pay close attention to what will happen at the 1.3100 figure and the current weekly low at 1.3076; the market might create a pullback up of the last leg lower.
