- The last twenty-four hours see the GBP/USD pairing testing the downside of the 1.2500 major handle, and intraday support rests at Tuesday's bottom of 1.2480 with intraday resistance priced in at the 38.2% Fibo retracement of 1.2540.
GBP/USD, 5-Minute
- The Cable has crossed a critical inflection point after pricing in a near-term lower high below the 1.2650 zone after the pair's floor collapsed, and now the pair is challenging into a new region.
GBP/USD, 30-Minute
- Looking to the medium-term, linear regression suggests that the Cable could be due for a retracement to the midline, but with this key level also falling below the previous 1.2650 support level, a move back into the range is likely to see a reload on short positions for a break lower.
