GBP/USD Technical Analysis: In range consolidation, still vulnerable ahead of the Asian session

  • Price consolidating near daily lows after a sharp decline, not followed by a significant correction.
  • Short-term technical indicators offer no clear signals, overall outlook remains bearish with price holding under 1.3200
  • Bearish pressure ahead of the Asian session likely to intensify with a slide under 1.3160.
  • To the upside, above 1.3180, it could trigger a rally to the strong resistance 1.3200/10; a follow-through above not favored at the moment.
