GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Breaks below 100-hour SMA to test 38.2% Fibo. level support

   “¢   The pair failed to capitalize on the early uptick and drifted into negative territory for the second consecutive session, retreating farther from one-month tops set on Friday.

   “¢   An intraday slide below 100-hour SMA was seen as a key trigger behind the pair’s latest leg of a sharp decline in the past hour amid a goodish pickup in the USD demand.

   “¢   Currently hovering around 38.2% Fibo. level of the 1.2866-1.3177, a follow-through selling now seems to accelerate the slide further towards the key 1.30 psychological mark.

   “¢   The mentioned handle marks a confluence support – comprising of 200-hour SMA and 50% Fibo. level and should act as a key pivotal point for the pair’s near-term trajectory.

   “¢   Meanwhile, technical indicators on the 1-hourly chart have been gaining negative traction and losing positive momentum on 4-hourly/daily charts, suggesting a further decline.
