GBPUSD had a particularly volatile session Thursday, with duelling Brexit headlines prompting a range of well over 150 pips in the pair. Technical signals are bearish and recent gains have likely been a correction. The pullback Thursday exposes 1.2806, Sep 30 low. A break would open the major support at 1.2676, Sep 23 low and the bear trigger. Note too that despite coming under pressure this week, resistance around the 20-and 50-day EMAs has remained intact, reinforcing bearish signals.
