  • GBP/USD spiked to 1.3042  and is currently retreating from the daily highs.
  • GBP/USD is evolving below its 50, 100-period simple moving averages (SMA) while it is currently testing the 200 SMA, suggesting an overall bearish bias. However, the RSI is just below 50 while the MACD and Stochastics are displaying bullish momentum. However all-in-all the bias remains bearish with a potential target at 1.2957 (July 19 swing low)    
  • However, a breakout above 1.3050 and the bearish trendline would invalidate the current bearish bias.
