GBPUSD rebuffed the bearish backdrop to rally sharply into the close, with weaker resistance giving way on the recovery to 1.2347. Nonetheless, the more medium-term trend remains bearish after the move lower resulted in a breach of the bear trigger at 1.2156, May 13 low. The break confirms a resumption of the primary downtrend and has also resulted in a move below the 1.2000 handle. Scope is seen for a retest 1.1934, Mar 20 2020 high and Tuesday’s low. Firm resistance is seen at 1.2410, the 20-day EMA.
