GBP/USD Technical Analysis: Exposed to further downside from 1.2600


  • The Sterling is flatlining ahead of Monday's London market open, trading into Friday's 38.2% Fibo retracement level, with intraday resistance baked-in at the 61.8 level near 1.2612.

  • Cable volatility on Brexit headlines remains a key factor in the GBP's market moves, but increasing investor unease over Brexit conditions leaves the Cable prone to downside moves that struggle to develop real momentum in bullish recoveries.

GBP/USD, 30-Minute

  • In the medium-term, the Cable is firmly bearish, and last week's bullish pickup from new 20-month lows at 1.2470 failed to recover the pair's early-week losses from 1.2750.
