GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Clocks 13-month low, below mid-1.2700s ahead of UK macro data
|• Bears dragged the pair below a short-term descending trend-channel in the overnight trading session and the selling pressure remains unabated for the seventh consecutive session on Friday.
• The ongoing USD upsurge further set off the bearish tone through the early European session and ahead of important UK macroeconomic releases, including the prelim Q2 GDP growth figures.
• A break below the August 2017 low now opens the room for an extension of the well-established bearish trend, albeit near-term oversold conditions might help limit losses, for the time being.
