GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Cable meltdown goes on as bear push GBP/USD below 1.2700 level

  • GBP/USD bears show no mercy as Cable reached a new 2018 low below the 1.2700 figure. GBP/USD is trading below its 50, 100 and 200-period simple moving averages on the 15-minute chart suggesting a strong bearish bias as the market is down for the 12th day in a row.
  • There seems to be little significant resistance before the next key support level at 1.2589 (June 21, 2017 low).  
  • Resistances to the upside are located near 1.2700 and 1.2723, August 10 low. Any rally will likely be met with selling pressure.
