GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Bears targeting trend-channel support after weaker UK retail sales

   “¢   The selling pressure remains unabated after today’s disappointing UK monthly retail sales data, with bears dragging the pair to fresh ten-month lows.

   “¢   Weakness below the key 1.30 psychological mark, for the first time since Sept. 2017, points to an extension of the bearish trajectory.

   “¢   With technical indicators drifting into oversold territory, the downfall could take a brief pause near a short-term descending trend-channel support.
