GBPUSD remains soft and the pair continued to weaken Friday. Thursday’s sell-off resulted in a move below support at 1.2004, Aug 5 low. The break lower strengthens a short-term bearish condition and the focus is on the key support and bear trigger at 1.1760, the Jul 14 low. A break would confirm a resumption of the broader downtrend. Key short-term resistance is unchanged at 1.2293, Aug 1 high. Initial firm resistance is at 1.2004.
