A bear threat in GBPUSD remains present despite the early bounce this week. The move lower from yesterday’s high, signals the end of the recent corrective bounce. A continuation lower would open 1.2519, the Feb 5 low where a break would confirm a resumption of the current bear cycle. Recently, the pair breached 1.2597, the Jan 17 low, to confirm a range breakout, paving the way for a move towards 1.2500, the Dec 13 low. Initial resistance is at 1.2684, the Feb 13 high.
