GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Consolidating losses below 1.3075 level

  • GBP/USD is down about 70 pips from Asia as GBP/USD dropped after the Bank of England dovish rate hike.
  • GBP/USD found support near the 1.3000 level and is now having a pullback to the upside. Late bears will try to short at the 1.3075 level while bulls will try to push the market higher towards 1.3100. A breakout above 1.3100 would be negative for bears.  
  • Bears are currently losing stream and the reaction at 1.3076 and 1.3100 will be capital for determining the short-term directionality of the currency pair. Bears need to regain the 1.3000 level in order to drive the market down towards  1.2957, the current 2018 low.
