GBPUSD traded higher Wednesday resulting in a print above resistance at 1.2707, the 20-day EMA. The break higher exposes key resistance at 1.2819, the Aug 10 high. The trend outlook is bearish and short-term gains are considered corrective. Last week’s move lower resulted in a break of support at 1.2621, the Aug 14 low and 1.2591, the Jun 29 low. This confirms a resumption of the downtrend - the bear trigger is at 1.2548, the Aug 25 low.
