Fresh bears pressure again cracked Fibo support at 1.2118 (76.4% of 1.1802/1.3141 rally) but may face headwinds here again, as daily RSI remains in oversold territory.
Prolonged consolidation could be expected on repeated failure to break lower, though, bearish bias remains as long as falling 10DMA (1.2231) caps.

Sterling is expected remain under increased pressure after September’s 3.7% drop (the biggest monthly loss since Aug 2022), as markets remain optimistic about the US economy, which is likely to have soft landing, due to limited negative impact from high borrowing cost.
US manufacturing PMI surprised to the upside in September, coming closer to 50 threshold, while focus shifts on several reports from the US labor sector, due this week.
Res: 1.2164; 1.2229; 1.2271; 1.2314.
