The Advisor Blog: Gbp/Usd technical levels by Valeria Bednarik
Some movements we are seeing here, in the middle of the fight. Bigger charts remain bearish for me, as long as the 20 SMA points to the downside and contains further raises. Take a look at the chart: a bit away yet 1.4130 seems to be quite a support zone for the pair, with 1.4225 and 1.4170 as intermediate ones.

FXstreet.com − The Euro has dropped further in early U.S. session breaking support level at 1.2600, and advancing towards next resistance level at 1.2510 area; worse than expected manufacturing data in the U.S. seems to have increased risk aversion and favoured the USD as safe haven.
