GBPUSD traded lower still Wednesday, extending the current downtrend. The pair has cleared 1.2974, Apr 13 low, as well as 1.2676 last printed in September 2020. The trend is in technically oversold territory: the 14d RSI is now below 21 - the lowest point since March 2020 and the initial wave of lockdowns that followed COVID. A reversal pattern is required though to signal a base. The focus is 1.2495, a Fibonacci retracement.
