GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Worst daily close since mid-July ahead of US NFP on Friday

  • GBP/USD had the worst daily close since mid-July as the pair is trading just above 1.3010 July 18 low.  
  • GBP/USD gained some bearish momentum this Thursday and the breakout below 1.3010 becomes almost bound to happen with bears looking at 1.2957, the current 2018 low.
  • Investors will pay attention to the US Nonfarm Payrolls and the Average Hourly Earnings on Friday at 12:30 GMT which can potentially lead to further volatility in the currency pair.
