GBPUSD traded lower Tuesday, resuming the pullback from 1.3983, the Jul 30 high. The move lower reinforces a bearish condition and the end of the corrective bounce in late July. Price is also back below the 50-day EMA. Further weakness would expose support at 1.3691, Jul 22 low with key support located at 1.3572, Jul 20 low. A convincing recovery back above the 50-day EMA at 1.3876 would ease the current bearish pressure.
