GBPUSD remains vulnerable following recent weakness. The pair has traded below both the 20- and 50-day EMAs to reinforce a short-term bearish threat and suggest scope for a deeper pullback. A resumption of weakness would open 1.3409, the Dec 29 low and 1.3387, a Fibonacci retracement. Initial firm resistance has been defined at 1.3662, the Dec 20 high. A break of this level is required to ease the developing bearish threat.
