GBPUSD remains in bear-mode condition and traded to a fresh low last week. The move down this month has resulted in a break of the 50-day EMA and a trendline - currently at 1.2796 - drawn from the Apr 22 low. The clear break of both the EMA and trendline exposed 1.2672, 50.0% of the Apr 22 - Jul 17 bull cycle. This level has been pierced, a clear break would confirm a resumption of the bear leg. Initial resistance is 1.2801, the 20-day EMA.
