GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Slides back closer to test an ascending trend-line support

   “¢   The pair struggled to build on its early positive momentum and dropped to session lows in the last hour, closer to over three-week lows touched overnight.

   “¢   This is followed by an important ascending trend-line support, extending from YTD lows set in mid-August through September monthly lows.

   “¢   Technical indicators on the daily chart have started losing positive momentum and the pair’s inability to build on the corrective bounce points to persistent selling bias.

   “¢   A convincing break through the mentioned trend-line support will reinforce the negative set-up and turn the pair vulnerable to resume with its prior depreciating move.
