GBPUSD traded sharply lower Monday, and edged lower still ahead of the Tuesday close. This extends the pullback from 1.3298, Mar 23 high. The pair has recently failed to hold above the 20-day EMA and the 1.0% 10-dma envelope (at 1.3257) - both were breached last week. The pullback also means a key resistance at 1.3322, the 50-day EMA, remains intact. Prices have breached 1.3120, the Mar 22 low and this opens 1.3000, Mar 15 low. Clearance of the 50-day EMA is required to signal a reversal.
