GBPUSD is off its recent lows but the recovery remains insufficient to reverse the recent weakness. Attention is on the bear trigger at 1.2974, Apr 13 low. The primary trend remains down and a breach of 1.2974 would confirm a resumption of bearish activity and open 1.2933, the Nov 5 2020 low. Key short-term resistance is at 1.3147, the Apr 14 high. The 50-day EMA, at 1.3195, also represents a firm resistance.
