GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Brexit headlines, firm EMAs keeping the Cable bolstered

The Cable saw plenty of buying pressure in the early Asia session, and now the GBP/USD is heading into the upcoming London market session near 1.3225.
Hourly indicators are leaning towards the downside near oversold territory, but the GBP is well-balanced at recent highs.
The pair continues to be well-bid at the 50-period EMA on 15-Minute charts.

EUR/USD stays well offered below 1.1800

The selling pressure on EUR/USD is picking up pace, with the pair slipping decisively below the key 1.1800 level and sliding to fresh two week lows as Wednesday’s session draws to a close. The move lower comes as the US Dollar finds renewed strength after the latest round of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes. Next of note on the docket will be the US weekly Initial Jobless Claims.
